Today's read on the Maine Senate race, naming Troy Jackson
Chatbots picked Democrat Troy Jackson 49.9 percent of the time and incumbent Susan Collins (R) 49.8 percent, a virtual tie 28 days before the general election. Betting markets are clearer but not lopsided, giving Jackson a 56.5 percent chance to win. Recent polls point the other way by a hair, putting Collins at 47.5 percent of the vote and Jackson at 46.5 percent. Nothing moved much since Monday, so the useful picture for Maine voters is a steady, very close race rather than a new break toward either candidate.
