[00:00:00]A new University of New Hampshire poll puts Graham Platner ahead of Senator Susan Collins in the main Senate race, 51% to 42%. The survey was taken from May 21st to 25 and carries a margin of error of plus or minus 2.6 points.

[00:00:16]The poll also shows 6% of likely voters undecided and 2% backing other candidates. Even with the lead, Platner remains under scrutiny over past comments and questions around a tattoo that had been removed.
