Sara Gideon, speaker of the Maine House of Representatives, has a 1-point lead over the senator.

The results of a poll released Tuesday showed that support for Maine Senator Susan Collins, a Republican, had fallen just behind that of one of her Democratic challengers, Sara Gideon.

Collins, who took office in 1997, is the state's senior senator. She is up for re-election this year, and there is a primary race to determine which Democratic candidate will face her in November. Gideon, the speaker of the Maine House of Representatives, is one of those candidates. The poll was developed by Colby College and conducted by SocialSphere between February 10 and 13.

The poll reported that 42 percent of the respondents said they would support Collins in her bid for re-election, while 43 percent said they would vote for Gideon. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

"There's a long way to go, and things can change," Dan Shea, a professor of government at Colby College and the poll's lead researcher, said about the race in a news release."However, the results indicate this could be the kind of race Senator Collins has not had to deal with before."contacted Collins' Senate office as well as Gideon's campaign for comments on the poll but did not receive replies before publication.
