According to recent polling out of Maine — as noted by Sun Journal journalist Steve Collins — the approval numbers for Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) have plummeted drastically since she cast one of the deciding votes for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh over the wishes of her constituents.

In a series of tweets, journalist Collins highlighted the embattled senator’s precipitous decline in popularity as she faces a 2020 re-election campaign that could see her ousted.

As the writer points out, “New Critical Insights poll finds @SenatorCollins losing ground in Maine. In same poll, she went from 58% approval last spring to 51% in the fall to 41% now. ”

In a continuing series of tweets, he compares the senator’s number with how other politicians are faring, including President Donald Trump, adding: “Only 34% of Maine voters approve of Donald Trump, down from 41% last fall.”

It's hard to hold the middle ground in politics anymore. Collins has the approval of 31% of Democrats in this poll, 46% of Republicans.
Key for her is how does she bolster that GOP # without diminishing support among Democrats?

ass hitting the pavement on the way out.

8. His tweet smacks of both siderism

"It's hard to hold the middle ground in politics anymore."

and just leaves that hanging there like both sides are at fault. Journalistic neutrality is utter bullshit when one side is patently wrong and at fault.

10. Friends in FL said their neighbor, a life long Repub. lady was

so upset over Kavanot last fall that she left the GOP.
