Just saw this from Collins wikipedia page

According to a poll released by Morning Consult on November 24, 2015, Collins, with a 78% approval rating, had the highest approval rating of any sitting Republican U.S. senator, as well as the second-highest overall, behind only Independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont.[22] In July, 2018, Morning Consult showed Collins with a 56% approval rating, with 34% disapproving.[23] Only a month later, on August 21, a Public Policy Polling poll showed Collins with a 35% approval rating, with 48% disapproving.

It should get lower

Why not one more? Especially if, in two years time, Kavanaugh has the deciding vote allowing Trump to pardon himself.

Latest I could find at the moment -

In the U.S. Senate race, which will be determined by ranked-choice voting, 52 percent preferred King, the incumbent senator and a former Maine governor. A majority of votes on Election Day would automatically stop the state’s process of tabulating voters’ second, third or subsequent choices. King was followed by Brakey, a state senator, (25 percent) and Democrat Zak Ringelstein, an educator, (9 percent), with 15 percent undecided. The poll also measured the outcome if the vote count were to continue to the second round. In that case, King widens his lead over Brakey, 58 percent to 27 percent.

“Angus is King in round after round in Maine,” said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center in Boston. “The poll suggests Maine may not need a second round for U.S. Senate.”
