Shock poll shows Maine oysterman leading Schumer's handpicked Dem Senate candidate

Oyster farmer Graham Platner is trouncing sitting Maine Gov. Janet Mills in the Democratic primary race for Senate in Maine, according to a new poll that has him up by 38 points in the primary. He also leads Republican Sen. Susan Collins by 11 points in a hypothetical general election match up. Taking Maine is key to Democrats' hopes to retake the Senate, but they will also need upsets in states that have leaned red in recent years, like Alaska and Ohio.
