New Poll Reveals 95% of Mainers Support Stock Trading Ban Collins Opposes

After Collins opposed a stock trading ban and ran from press questions about husband’s stock holdings, new poll reaffirms Collins on wrong side of Maine public opinion

Augusta, Maine – Just weeks after Susan Collins opposed bipartisan legislation that would prevent her and her spouse from trading and selling stocks, a new poll reveals 95% of Mainers support banning stock trading by a member of Congress, the president, and vice president.

The poll comes shortly after Collins was caught on video running away from questions from the press about her husband’s stock holdings and after Bangor Daily News reported Collins’ portfolio rose by 77.5% in 2024, putting her “eighth among members of Congress for growth.”

The same poll also found 89% of Mainers believe the Trump administration should release all documents related to the Epstein case. Collins was also recently caught on video running away from reporter questions about Trump’s handling of the Epstein files.
