Poll shows Collins down 12 points, Graham tied with Democratic challenger

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) face rising odds in their high-profile re-election bids, according to a Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday.

Why it matters: Many thought Graham's Senate race was a long shot for Democrats, and the moderate Collins has served as a pivotal Republican swing vote on a number of key issues during the Trump presidency.

Collins, who has criticized Trump at times but voted to confirm Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and to acquit the president in his impeachment trial, is down 54%-42% to her Democratic challenger Sara Gideon, Maine's House Speaker.

Graham is tied 48%-48% with Jaime Harrison, his Democratic challenger and the first African-American chairman of South Carolina's Democratic party. Meanwhile: Democrat Amy McGrath, who has raised massive amounts of cash in her high-profile Kentucky Senate race, is down 53%-41% to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, according to the Quinnipiac poll.

What they're saying: "Senate control hangs in the balance as the GOP confronts a likely nail biter in South Carolina and a possible knockout in Maine, offset by a presumably solid lead in Kentucky," Quinnipiac analyst Tim Malloy said in a press release.

Methodology: 1,164 likely voters surveyed in Kentucky with a MOE of ±2.9 percentage points. 1,183 likely voters surveyed in Maine with a MOE of ±2.9 percentage points. 969 likely voters surveyed in South Carolina with a MOE of ±3.2 percentage points.

Orion Rummler. Either doomed to be an idiot by its parents, or changed its name to reflect its idiocy.

If we have a red wave we will hold and increase our lead in the Senate and take back the House. I see a red wave happening.

No, the GOP is going to wipe the Democrats. Latest article by the Nation laments that Trump is uniting the Party behind him, while the Biden Democrats are leaving him.

If you actually looked at all the polls, you would see that it is Trump that has the momentum and the Democrats who are falling apart.

Agreed. And we take back the Alabama seat and pick up the Mich. seat.

the Left wants her scalp to send a message to any Republicans in the future if an issue like Kavanaugh happens again that represent a marginal state. She has been their top target ever since they could not intimidate her into voting their way. So unfortunately, that would be very bad news if she loses - despite her history.

We need to control the Senate and get the judgeships passed. That is what counts now.

You are out of your mind. In 2018 Trump wasn’t on the ticket. How did you do with the Senate? Did you pick that we would pick up 2 seats?

Well losing collins isn't a great loss.

I'll be happy if that senile, wishy-washy backstabbing RINO witch is gone.

With graham, I dunno... His saving grace for me is his reaction to hecklers:

Yep, the Coach is crushing the filthy lying rat by double digits that some sources say are in the low to mid 20’s range.

That is why filthy lying rat came out from the start with negative ads. Hell I’m surprised that filthy lying rat’s friend at “Highway 31” PAC hadn’t run any false ads yet.
