Marist with Jackson +2 on one of the most cooked LV screens I’ve ever seen as an FYI Dems have outvoted Rs more than 2:1 so far in early voting yeah I don’t think this bodes well for Collins

I’m sorry you can’t tell me RV is Jackson +9 and LV is Jackson +2 looking at that early vote be serious

Micah have you considered that there's a couple dozen...thousands of Maine voters who are hyperengaged but also decided this year of all years to wait until E-Day to turn up, all of their own initiative, for no logical reason whatsoever?

this feels like a blatant hedge. they basically put out two different polls so that afterward, they can point to the one closest to the result and say "look, we got it right"

A LV screen that shifts it 7 towards collins is crazy. Seems like herding. It's okay to have an outlier poll guys! (Jackson winning by 9 or more is probably an outlier, even if he ends up winning)

“she’s going to win a ton of crossover votes” okay so say that! don’t pretend registered dems and registered republicans are going to vote in equal numbers in this election

This seems to be exactly what is happening. Most pollsters seem to be weighting samples to make them look like the 2024 electorate. The demographics of turnout in 2026 will look quite different, favoring Democrats. Every Republican with a lead smaller than +5 anywhere should be very concerned.
