This week we put out our latest set of New York Times/Siena University polls examining how voters are feeling about the Senate races in Maine, Michigan and New Hampshire.
They contain a lot of good news for Democrats — something of a theme in our recent polls. In Michigan, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is ahead by 5 percentage points, in a state where Democrats worried that his contentious primary may have fractured the base. And in New Hampshire, where Democrats were sounding the alarm that their chances may be slipping away, the Democrat Chris Pappas has a 5 percentage point lead.
But there is also quite a bit of good news for Republicans. Here are three things that stood out.
1. There has been a change in Maine.
When we last polled Maine’s Senate race, in June, the Republican incumbent Susan Collins was trailing Graham Platner, then the Democratic nominee, by 2 percentage points.
But things have been shaken up since then. Platner left the race after a former girlfriend accused him of rape, which he denied. Troy Jackson, a former logger and state lawmaker, took his place on the ballot. And now, our poll finds Collins with a slim 3-point lead.
A majority of voters say they view Collins positively, which was not the case in our poll over the summer. She has made gains with independent voters, and is even winning 8 percent of Democrats.
What shines through brightly in the poll is that voters believe Collins is delivering for Maine. Nearly 60 percent of voters — including 63 percent of independents and even 20 percent of Democrats — say they think Collins would do a better job bringing money and resources to the state than Jackson would.
2. Republican Senate candidates are running ahead of the party.

Sorry- i don’t believe for a second the filthy terrorist supporter in Michigan is +5....
Dunno. I would not underestimate the ignorance of MI voters.
I would be tickled to see the GOP take the affordable argument from the Marxists. It should become a caucus wide, loud, ubiquitous call for every State in the Union to immediately suspend every gas tax on a temporary basis and revisit it in the New Year. Make the Dumocrats defend taxing their constituents trying to get to work or the daycare.
The commies were pimping the Maine nazi. And they were proud of it.
The simple two arguments are:
1. Trump has again reduced the national poverty rate to record low levels— 10.2 percent. It was last almost this low in 2019 at 10.5 [under Trump]
2. The inflation rate is half the rate it was under Biden 5.0 % versus 2.5% under Trump.
More democrats is to ask for more inflation.
What were the other 2 bright spots for the GOP?
This is funny - I literally said to myself “I don’t believe this for a second”, right before I clicked on it.
El-Sayed might be 5 points ahead, but they conveniently left out the rest of the equation, at least in the free excerpt. I think we’ve all seen polls that claim so-and-so is ahead by 3 points but in actuality the vote is 46-43, meaning 11% haven’t made up their minds yet. Another reason why critical thinking skills are so important, lol.
I’ve voted absentee already in the state of South Carolina.
I’ve voted absentee already in the state of South Carolina.
I think you’re right.
Every republican governor should suspend the gas tax.
Especially Texas and other at risk states.
The rate is lower, but the inflation is higher. That's the evil nature of inflation and why the need to lower it should have been a primary concern.
This means that the Republicans are at least 10 points ahead.
