缅因州参议员选举民调：杰克逊与柯林斯相差2个百分点根据一项最新民调，缅因州共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯与其民主党挑战者特洛伊·杰克逊之间的竞争十分激烈。
Jackson, Collins separated by 2 points in Maine Senate race polling Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) is locked in a tight race against her Democratic challenger, Troy Jackson, according to a new survey.
在中期选举前一周公布的玛丽斯特大学民调显示，在该州可能投票的选民中，现任参议员落后杰克逊2个百分点——这一领先幅度在调查的误差范围之内。
The Marist University poll, released one week before the midterms, found the incumbent trailing Jackson by 2 percentage points among likely voters in the state — a lead that falls within the survey’s margin of error.
近期其他民调也印证了《库克政治报告》等选举预测机构对本场竞选的“胜负难料”评级。
Other recent polling has supported “toss up” ratings for this race from election handicappers, like The Cook Political Report.
福克斯新闻上周公布的另一项调查显示，两位候选人在该州可能投票的选民中的支持率不相上下，而萨福克大学本月早些时候进行的民调也同样发现民主党人享有2个百分点的优势。
Another survey, released last week by Fox News, showed the two candidates tied among their support from likely voters in the state, while a Suffolk University poll conducted earlier this month similarly found the Democrat with a 2-point advantage.
柯林斯正在竞选她在国会的第六个任期。如果她在普选中获胜，她将成为该州历史上任职时间最长的参议员。无论受访者在玛丽斯特民调中支持谁，仍有58%的人表示他们认为这位共和党人将会获胜。
Collins is running for a sixth term in Congress. If she is successful in the general election, she will become the longest-serving senator in the state’s history. Despite whom they supported in the Marist poll, 58 percent of respondents said they believe the Republican will win.
杰克逊是一名伐木工人，曾任州参议员。他最近为击败现任参议员，获得了60多名前外交官和顶级外交事务专家的支持。这位民主党人在接替原民主党候选人格雷厄姆·普拉特纳参选后，一直难以获得知名度。
Jackson, a logger and former state senator, also recently received the support of over 60 former diplomats and top foreign affairs experts in his effort to oust the incumbent. The Democrat struggled to gain name recognition after replacing former Democratic nominee Graham Platner in this race.
该民调机构还要求受访者就州长竞选中的候选人发表看法，以接替民主党州长珍妮特·米尔斯。在这项调查中，共和党候选人博比·查尔斯和民主党候选人汉娜·平格里在可能投票的选民中的支持率均为44%。大约6%的人还支持这场竞选中的独立候选人、缅因州参议员里克·贝内特。
The pollster also asked respondents to weigh in on the candidates’ in the state’s gubernatorial contest to replace Gov. Janet Mills (D). GOP nominee Bobby Charles and Democratic nominee Hannah Pingree were tied at 44 percent in this survey among likely voters. Roughly 6 percent also backed the independent candidate in this race, Maine Sen. Rick Bennett.
此外，58%的缅因州可能选民不赞成特朗普总统履行总统职务的表现。42%的可能选民表示，特朗普不会成为他们本次选举投票时的考量因素，而41%表示他们的投票将是“反对总统”。马里斯特大学的民调于10月22日至25日对1449名缅因州登记选民进行，误差范围为6.6个百分点。
Additionally, 58 percent of likely Maine voters disapproved of President Trump’s handling of his job as president. Forty-two percent of likely voters said Trump would not be a factor in how they cast their ballot this election, while 41 percent said their vote will be cast “against the president.”The Marist University poll was conducted among 1,449 Maine registered voters from Oct. 22-25. It has a margin of error of 6.6 percentage points.
