New Poll: 15 Points

Rasmussen's August numbers are out and they show a 15 point advantage for Sen. Collins:

Tom Allen (D): 38 (42) (42) (42) (38)

Susan Collins (R-inc): 53 (49) (49) (52) (54)

That's very good news for the junior senator. It's too bad, though that the poll was taken on Tuesday--just before the radio interview kerfuffle--rather than later in the week.
