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.
Funny, the Axios article forgot to mention the Alabama Senate Race. Wonder if it might be because it spoils the narrative.
If Collins had been a TRUE conservative people would be fighting tooth and nail for her BUT this mushy republican crap RINO BS is not worth fighting for!!{
Quinnipiac is essentially polling from the DNC. No freaking way that these polls paint an accurate picture. Collins is a moderate who fits Maine’s political culture well. Graham has been outspent big time, but when he fights back with advertising over the next 6 weeks, he will win the race by 7 or 8 points.
Yeah...recapping “journalism”

Graham will fight back. Like Pit Chihuahua.
Quinnipac picked Hillary to win overwhelmingly in 2016.
Do you also go incognito as Hedge Apple? I never understood how these two are the same but here in Ohio they are the same bush/tree.
She was good on one vote; rest of the time she’s been disloyal. I don’t want to lose the Senate, but if any Rs are going to lose, let her be one of em.
If U R a repub and don’t fall in w/ DJT, kiss your A g’bye.
I’m worried about Collins losing her election and also worried we won’t hold Senate.
We had two vacations in Maine. We love Maine, so beautiful. Yeah, Collins not looking good at all. She will lose.
Axios/ Quinnipiac - any questions?
Oh please, it’s quinnipiac.
In 2016, remember Rachel Maddow having an orgasm over a poll showing Trump and Cankles tied in South Carolina?
They are the worst of the worst. This was the 2018 Florida Senate poll, a day before the election.
Quinnipiac (10/29 – 11/4) 1142LV ± 3.5%
Nelson 51%
Scott 44%
70000 Somalis in Lewiston Maine will do that.
Collins created the envirement for her demise. She has advocated for MORE mooselimb refugees in her state.
She got what she wanted.
Sara Gideon is an absolute nightmare, but you knew Collins was done long ago.
If you can stomach Maddow, here she is claiming Trump is in danger in SC.
The “Lincoln Project” is running one of the most disgusting political ads I have ever seen — AGAINST Graham!
