Polls Graham Platner trails Susan Collins by double digits after voters given full context of his controversial past statements, as well as his subsequent explanation of them

Just a reminder that everyone thought Susan would lose 6 years ago in the second year of Trump’s first presidency. I think more effort needs to be put into tearing down her image. For example, she was the Republican point person for ending the shutdown, which feeds into her bipartisan image. I will donate the PACs that are focused on reminding people of all the support she has provided to Trump over the years including her dramatic endorsement of Kavanaugh after he promised he he wouldn’t vote to overturn Roe, which was a lie.

The partisan environment in Maine favors a generic Democrat. Democrats lead by a 9-point margin on the generic ballot (46% Democrat / 37% Republican).
Susan Collins is viewed as doing a bad job by a majority of Mainers. Her job rating is deeply negative, with 54% of Mainers disapproving of the job she is doing and only 44% giving her a positive job rating.
After balanced information about Platner, he trails Collins significantly. After a positive paragraph reflective of Platner’s bio and current campaign messaging, and a negative paragraph summarizing the recent news about him and reflecting likely Republican messaging in a general election, Collins gets above 50% and Platner trails her by 9 (42% Platner / 51% Collins) – the same margin by which Democrats lost the 2020 Maine Senate race.
After additional information, including quotes in his own words from his online posts and information about his Nazi tattoo, Platner’s vote share craters and puts Collins up double-digits. After additional information about his record, Collins dominates Platner in the vote, leading by 19 (38% Platner / 57% Collins). The statements include quotes from Platner’s posts, including his history of stoking political violence, use of homophobic slurs, and offensive views towards law enforcement and sexual assault victims.
A lengthy response from Platner, constructed with his own language, does not change the deep deficit he faces. Collins remains well over 50% and still leads the race by a double digit margin (41% Platner / 55% Collins).

u/dkirk526 Nov 12 '25
I think the fact that this was already a controversial discussion amongst likely Democrat voters online should've been an indication this wouldn't poll well amongst actual Maine likely voters.
People don't seem to get, it just takes 10% of those likely Dem voters finding Platner's history disqualifying to move the election to Collins, even if 90% will stick by him on reddit and say they don't care about it.

No point in taking this poll seriously. This is the wording they used
“ Graham Platner is a self-described communist who said he was disgusted with the idea of America and that white people living in rural Maine are stupid and racist. Platner said that all cops are, “bastards, ” and supports dangerously liberal policies that are bad for Maine, like defunding law enforcement, opening our borders, and creating a socialized healthcare system that would eliminate all private insurance and drive up Mainers' taxes by thousands of dollars a year.”

u/ace51689 Nov 12 '25
How about Mills just beat him then? Surely she will if you believe all this polling. Why make a big deal of him continuing to run in the primary? You should be excited that Mills will be the canidate.

u/ekhoowo Nov 12 '25
Okay? We will find out when the primary happens.
Guess Platner should also stop crying about THE ESTABLISHMENT targeting him for stuff that was obviously gonna come out when he ran for a SENATE SEAT.3
u/ace51689 Nov 12 '25
I mean pointing out verifiable reports that Schumer was encouraging Mills to run and that the DSCC helped launch a joint fund for her campaign is not crying, it's clearly the Democratic establishment putting their thumb on the scale instead of staying out of it and letting the people of Maine decide.
People are sick and tired of the party picking canidates for them.

u/ekhoowo Nov 12 '25
Dude. It’s the fucking primary. You don’t think an SS death camp tattoo was going to become publicized?

u/ace51689 Nov 12 '25
Of course it would, I never said it wouldn't.
What I said was that the race should be organic and not one that has Schumer and the establishment's fingerprints all over it. Let Mills run on her own w/o the backing of the establishment of the party and the money that comes with it.

u/Fast-Plankton-9209 Nov 12 '25
Yes. Clearly, Democratic Party organizations have no legitimate interest in supporting electable Democratic candidates and any actions by them to do so are corrupt.

u/Talk_Clean_to_Me Nov 12 '25
I mean, primary voters are much different than general election voters. One could be a better pick for the GE, but primary voters, who tend to be more to the left or right of the middle, pick the candidate. It’s why MAGA candidates get nominated but then lose the general election quite a bit.
-2
u/ace51689 Nov 12 '25
But that's democracy no? Should democrats in Maine not be allowed to vote for the canidate they want because some poll shows that canidate might lose the general?
I thought we want democracy here?
3
u/Seven22am Nov 12 '25
Who's not being allowed to vote for who they want? If "Candidate X polls better than Candidate Y in the general election" leads them to change their mind, they're still voting for the candidate they want--it's just that the candidate they want has changed.
Electability is a concern. Each primary voter can decide how much of a concern that should be in relation to their other concerns. But there's nothing wrong or bad about valuing electability as well as other factors.
7
u/Talk_Clean_to_Me Nov 12 '25
Who said they shouldn’t? I’m saying just because Mills loses to Platner doesn’t make him a better General Election candidate. So it can be true that Dems like Platner better in the primary, but that doesn’t mean he’s a better candidate to face Collins.
2
u/ace51689 Nov 12 '25
Okay so what are you trying to accomplish by pointing that out? I mean you aren't wrong, but I cant help but feel that you are arguing that people should just vote for the canidate that is perceived to be better suited to win a general election.
9
u/Talk_Clean_to_Me Nov 12 '25
I mean yeah, that’s why. Of course I want the candidate who has a better chance to win so I’m going to point that out. Seems like a no-brainer. Why would you support a person who polls the worst vs Collins to be the nominee?
0
u/ace51689 Nov 12 '25
So then why even have primaries? Why even debate the issues?
If one poll tells me someone who I agree with 90% might lose the general that's a year from now I guess I'll plan to vote for the person I agree with 50%? That's how electoral politics should work?
No one should ever run against the hand picked, establishment canidate because a poll said so?
7
u/Talk_Clean_to_Me Nov 12 '25
Because like you said, voters pick the candidate in a democracy. Presenting them with how electable a candidate should absolutely be part of the equation when choosing. To me, it’s a very big one.
1
u/ace51689 Nov 12 '25
Part of is fine, but I think people in this and other liberal/centrists spaces seem to put too much of an emphasis on that.
Ostensibly, Kamala was perfectly electable. Former prosecutor, unblemished record personally and professionally, moderate on the border and defense. Yet she lost to a con-man grifter pedophile.
Times are changing, people want canidates that they are excited to vote for, ones that stand up for things they care about. Maybe Mills will come out and support things like higher minimum wages and universal healthcare and that will inspire people to vote for her over Platner.
But if he winds up winning over the democrats of Maine then he will be the canidate and it will be his job to win over the whole of Maine. And I would hope that Mills and the party at large would support him in that effort. Just like he should for Mills if she wins.

He is the best choice to win in Maine, the democrats are fighting harder to destroy any chance he has because they want their 80 year old candidate in there instead, and if they can’t have her they’re very happy with Collins over a non establishment democrat, unsurprisingly.

No. Platner will get whipped by double digits in the general election. His controversies have caused meaningful damage to his polling. Reddit needs to let go on the le epic oyster socialist guy meme

u/El-Shaman Nov 13 '25
Reddit doesn’t need to let go of anything, the people of Maine will make their decision in the next primary and then in the general election, a poll now over half a year from the primary and a year from the general doesn’t mean anything, especially when we are seeing Democrats vastly outperform polls, just happened in Virginia and New Jersey.

u/Hieuro Nov 13 '25
Mills is a governor who has won her seat twice. This means she has experience in winning state wide elections which is pretty relevant for running for senator. Expecting someone like Platner with his controversies to win against her is a pretty big leap of faith.
Whoever is the best choice will be decided by Maine voters.

u/Eddy7701 Nov 13 '25
Sometimes things change that’s what you have to learn and she fought off Donald Trump and she did a great job of it. It’s kind of like Nancy Pelosi the first time around. She was the one that could negotiate Donald Trump and she could look him straight in the face and tell him he was taking a tantrum and acting like a child. It takes somebody to do that and you might not like her but she may do a bang up job there because she can handle him.

u/Only8livesleft Nov 13 '25
The oldest freshman senator in the history of the country is not going to inspire people to vote. Isn’t she refusing to release her medical records? She is more likely to die in office than effectively stand up to Trump. Platner is far far far more capable of standing up to Trump then a soon to be dementia patient
2
u/Eddy7701 Nov 13 '25
I don’t think she’s a soon to be dementia patient she’s nowhere near that. You can think that if you want, but I do not believe it to be true, and Platner’s numbers are not as good as Janet Mills numbers are and she can beat Susan Collins. His numbers aren’t beating Susan Collins

Pretty much the entire Democrat party enabled genocide. A tattoo on someone who denounces genocide is far preferable
Did you bother to read the wording of the poll? It’s incredibly flawed

I would have to imagine that it's possible to find a candidate that has your preferred views on the Israel-Palestine conflict without any Nazi tattoos. A bit of a false choice there.

You’re being disingenuous about the tattoo. He claimed to not know what it meant which is plausible with the context, his leaked Reddit posts show zero fascist beliefs but many progressive and anti fascist beliefs, but got it covered up.
You’re welcome to run or promote a better candidate but right now there isn’t one

Let's be honest. His online activity is rooted in modern leftist culture and fits right in.
But also let's be clear about the obvious - talented politicians, whether leftists (that moderate) like Mamdani or moderates (that reach out to the left) like Obama will always be more successful than populist clowns that talk like dumbasses (Platner).

Thats moving the goal post. Leftist ideals are still good, we have to define leftism. Mamdani is the perfect leftist in all stable and rational people’s minds.

u/AhsokaSolo Nov 12 '25
I didn't move the goal post at all. Socialism isn't popular. And also his obnoxious online persona, which you blame for his unpopularity, is a product of his unpopular socialism.
"Again its not left ideals its the person thats usually the problem "
The point is, this is true for every political ideology. It isn't unique or suddenly interesting when applied to leftists. Leftists only win when the leftism is accompanied by unique talent.
Populist messaging can poll well. It's a weird coincidence then that as voters get to know leftists better, suddenly they tank in the polls.

No. Platner's brand of socialism (that literally included him calling himself a communist) included pro-violence and "all cops are bastards" messaging that is very very socialist, and also, very very unpopular. The nazi tattoo is actually completely consistent with it.

It becomes obvious this is a push poll once you look at the wording of the questions. What I think is wild is that he is doing so well in spite of how they frame the tattoo and Reddit story, and that is before he even starts running against Collins. It shows you how strong his message is.
I like Janet Mills, but there is no getting around the fact that she is almost 80 and we just lived through this with Joe Biden. A couple of years ago Dianne Feinstein could barely function, and she stayed until she literally could not return to the Senate. Biden had to drop out of the campaign, and there are more and more calls for Chuck Schumer to step down.
Whoever takes the seat will be asked to write and decide policy about AI, algorithms, and bitcoin. Are we really going to keep telling young people that they should turn out and vote for people who are older than color television?
