Poll shows majority of Maine voters against re-electing Collins

Susan Collins, serving as the senior United States senator from Maine as a member of the Republican party, has held her seat since 1997, and according to a recent poll, people from Maine believe she shouldn’t be running again in 2026.

The survey, which shows that 71 percent of potential voters do not believe she deserves yet another term, was published by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center Thursday.

Additionally, 21 percent of the survey responders said they would likely support Senator Collins’ attempt to run for the Senate.

Collins has frequently opposed President Trump’s policies. She has voted against his nominees, including Kash Patel for FBI Director and Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense, and has strongly criticized his tariff decisions.

While most Republicans oppose Collins’ push to return to Congress, they are not certain who should run for her seat.

A number of Trump supporters criticized Collins for not supporting the president’s political strategies and decisions fully. Instead, she sometimes sided with the Democrats which made it harder for Trump to push through his planned reforms. Among the rest, Collins voted against Trump’s tax overhaul and the changes to the Affordable Care Act during his first term in office.

Senator Susan Collins has held her seat since 1997, and according to a recent poll, people from Maine believe she shouldn't be running again.

Despite Maine’s overall Democratic lean in national politics, Senator Collins has managed to remain the state’s longest-serving member of Congress because of her influence over federal spending decisions, particularly those affecting her home state.  

Without Senator Collins on the ballot, Republicans may experience a hard time winning the seat.
