WASHINGTON — Almost half of likely voters in Maine’s closely watched US Senate race view Democratic hopeful Graham Platner as “too extreme,” a new poll has found. The New York Times/Portland Press Herald/Siena College survey also found that only 44% would describe Platner as having “good character” compared to incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (66%), and just 45% agree the Democrat “has the right kind of moral values” compared to Collins (61%).
