A new poll from Senate Majority PAC, a billionaire-funded left-wing super PAC, gave Democratic candidate Troy Jackson a four-point lead over Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine).
“A third straight poll shows us what we already know. No amount of billionaire money can overcome an organized movement of working Mainers fighting for an economy that works for us. Susan Collins should be very concerned,” said Jackson on X.
Hart Research conducted the poll on behalf of the Senate Majority PAC from July 27 through August 1. The PAC first released its results on Thursday.
The poll of 802 likely voters found that Jackson leads Sen. Collins in a 49-to-45 percent matchup, with a significant six percent undecided.
Pollsters pointed out that Collins’ polling numbers are worse now than they were at a similar time during her 2020 face-off with Sarah Gideon.
The poll gave Collins a 46 percent approval rating compared with 52 percent who said they disapprove of her performance.
Hart Research said that it found that voters are more concerned about negatives voters are likely to hear about Collins than negatives about Jackson. After hearing the information about both candidates, Jackson’s lead expanded to eight points.
Hart and the Senate Majority PAC very conspicuously failed to specify what negatives about each candidate were presented to respondents.
While Jackson has made his contempt for billionaires a pillar of his campaign, he is happily accepting support from the billionaire-funded Senate Majority PAC.
Federal Election Commission (FEC) data shows that the PAC has raised over $174 million since the start of 2025.
According to the PAC, it has spent $33 million on TV ad reservations dedicated to getting Jackson elected.
Hate to say it but Susie has good chance of losing. To many Conservatives are tired of holding their noses and voting for the lesser of two evils. The worse part is it will affect the rest of the ticket.
Hope I am wrong …
I hope you are wrong too .
Jackson is just a backwoods hick from Jerkwater Maine with a baseball hat and a high school education .
WTF. will HE bring back to Maine but more embarrassment ?
He says “ We are getting Screwed “ ……
We WILL BE if he and his Janet Mills Clone Pingree get into office !
Collins better start tying our affordability issue to democrat policies, especially in this State. The whole MEGOP had better put this front and center, constantly. Keep banging that point home, if they really want to win.
Maine… the banjo music state.
With Susan Collins recent antics of now not supporting Trump nominee for AG (Blanche) just might be her last stand against her own party. Suzy must want a side room deal of some sort and is holding her vote as collateral? This is the true Rhino that is Susan Collins! My prediction is that Troy Jackson will be the evil that finally unseat the evil that is Susan Collins! Does not make any difference at this point, they are both Democrats from the Dysfunctional Maine!
I have to agree with Mr T .
If this deal with Blanche is the straw that breaks the camels back with the true GOP voters , then she will deserve to get beat by the likes of this lowlife loser Troy Jackson .
She evidently keeps wanting to screw us when her vote counts the most .
Maybe it’s time for her to finally go . Enough is enough from Susan Collins .
I can’t trust or believe a poll that will not make public the questions it asked or how they asked them. If you look at Hart’s website you will see that the customers are all Democrats; leading me to believe that they slant their questions to keep the clients happy. They also don’t say where the sample was taken; (Cumberland County?).
Nothing says Maine like this democratic senate field from Pork Bellying Ashley to Shit for Brains Graham Platner to Kissing Cousin Troy Jackson yup this field has Maine written all over it.
I saw a cable channel that specializes in reruns of popular network series repeat Jackson’s commercial 5 times, heading for a 6th.
Is he buying up all available time slots, burning dollars at a record rate?
A reporter once asked Troy Jackson where he first met his wife. He replied, “At a family reunion.”
