Susan Collins, Maine's longtime senator, was down in the polls this year and seemingly on track to lose the seat she's held for 24 years. Then she won — by nine points.
The race turned into both a cautionary tale and a template.

Rumor has it that her internal polls were different from the public polls. Also any incumbent who has won 3 re-elections with over 58% of the vote is always a formidable candidate regardless of the polls.

Yes and I didn't intend to imply that it was not in the story. A friend told me he passed a table of 10 at a restaurant this summer, and everyone of them had a story of Collins helping them out with something. Constituent service is very important.

I am not surprised - heard that kind of thing from folks when I was up there. The information was there but public polls didn’t capture it accurately at all. I hope there’s a post mortem of some sort.
