Allen closing in on Collins

Submitted by SarekOfVulcan on May 19, 2008 - 10:53am.

According to Rasmussen, Allen has cut Collins' lead from 16 to 10 percentage points.

The incumbent's favorability ratings have slipped a little since last month. Collins is viewed favorably by 70% and unfavorably by 29%. Allen’s ratings are 58% favorable, 35% unfavorable.

The survey also found that 90% of Maine voters believe the nation is heading down the wrong track. Just 7% say it is moving in the right direction. Those numbers are a bit more negative than the national average.

While Collins' numbers have slipped a bit this month, she remains in better position than many of her Republican colleagues.

So, what can we do to help pull Allen's "favorable" numbers up?
