There's some polls out there that show Susan Collins edging him out and Governor Mills.
In head-to-head matchups between Governor Mills and Plattner, again, we see
vastly different results.
Platner up by 24 points in one poll, Mills up by 10 points in another poll.
So I guess as a result, we're really not sure.
We're all just kind of saying it looks like a toss up at this point.
Yeah, I think that's not terribly surprising.
It seems like the Mills campaign, their focus is on portraying this confidence that they are the best person to take on Susan Collins.
You actually don't really hear Governor Mills talk about Graham Platner very much out on the campaign trail.
And even the way that they're campaigning is interesting from my perspective.
You have Governor Mills, who's doing kind of the very traditional small events with intimate audiences, doing the business tours.
And then you have Graham Platner on the other side, who's doing the much bigger town hall events where he is going after Governor Mills.
He is being more forceful and going after Susan Collins, of course.
And I think kind of the best indication of this, I think it was last week, there's actually a video of Graham Platner crowd surfing at a Dropkick Murphys concert.
And then he gets up on stage with the Dropkick Murphys or this kind of famous Boston band and sings a song with them.
And on the same week, you had Governor Mills going to these businesses and kind of meeting with small groups.
So it's just an interesting contrast in the way they're campaigning.
Well, I think a lot of it just has to do what we're seeing on the national stage.
Maine is a fairly blue state.
Senator Collins has gotten elected election after election frequently by large margins because she's been able to pick up in the past not only.
