The leading Democratic Senate candidates in Maine are focusing on female voters in their upcoming Senate race, which could be decisive in the June Democratic primary and November general election. Gov. Janet Mills and Graham Platner are vying for the coveted seat against GOP Sen. Susan Collins in the fall, a crucial race for Democrats in their bid to gain four seats and take control of the Senate. A new Emerson College poll of likely Democratic primary voters showed Platner leading Mills by nearly 30 points, with 13% undecided. A recent national NBC News poll found 67% of women rated themselves as 9 or 10 on a 10-point scale of their interest in the election, compared to 61% of men. Meanwhile, uncertainty remains over the Iran war, with President Donald Trump estimating it could last four to six weeks. Despite this uncertainty, surveys show Americans are skeptical of the war and concerned about prices and concerns about Iran's nuclear capabilities.
