A new statewide poll found that a majority of residents don’t believe Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) deserves to be reelected.

The University of New Hampshire and the American Association of Public Opinion Research reported that 71 percent of survey takers said they don’t think Collins should return to Washington in the next election cycle, while 21 percent of people said she deserves another term and 8 percent are unsure or have no opinion. 

Collins has been a fierce critic of President Trump’s new tariffs and has voted against GOP measures in the legislature, siding with Democrats in their fight to ensure funds for Medicaid are not reduced. 

As a result, more than half of Republicans in her home state, 53 percent, said the lawmaker should not be reelected. Forty percent still have faith in her leadership and 6 percent don’t know or are neutral. 

More than half of young voters who fall between the ages of 18 and 34 are opposed to Collins’ push to return to Congress. 

Comparatively, a quarter of respondents in the age bracket support a sixth term for the incumbent senator and 7 percent have no opinion.

The survey also measured the likeability of Collins’ potential competitors, including Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine), a moderate Democrat and the state’s Gov. Janet Mills (D), who’s already announced she’s not planning to launch a Senate bid.

Twenty-eight percent of respondents said they want Golden to run, while 62 percent disagree and 9 percent are unsure.

Forty percent of voters said Mills should contend for Collins’s seat, 56 percent don’t think she should campaign for the upper chamber and 5 percent don’t know.

Survey results were captured from April 17-21 among 2,850 Maine adults who were recruited to participate in the poll. The margin of error for the results is plus or minus 3.2 percent.
