She'll have another look at those poll numbers when the vote comes up.Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), who has come under mounting pressure as President Trump’s impeachment trial starts, is now the Senate’s most unpopular member, displacing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in the rankings, according to a new tracking poll.
A quarterly Morning Consult tracking poll finds that Collins’s net approval rating has dropped 10 points in her state since the end of September, a sign of the intense fire she has taken from critics since the House launched its impeachment inquiry.
[...]
Collins took some criticism this week when she downplayed new evidence released by the House Intelligence Committee revealing that Lev Parnas, an associate of Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, had made it his objective to instigate an investigation of Biden.
Democrats have also expressed dismay that she did not support an organizing resolution that required additional witness testimony and document review at the start of the trial.
Collins issued a statement Thursday afternoon asserting that her position on witnesses has often been mischaracterized and predicted she would likely vote to hear new evidence.
