Here's what Susan Collins and Troy Jackson are telling Maine voters ahead of the midterms

What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the Maine race as a close contest between Susan Collins and Troy Jackson, but Newsweek is the only one to summarize polling, saying Jackson holds leads in several polls while Collins has overcome similar disadvantages before. 60 Minutes instead focuses on what Collins and Jackson are telling voters ahead of the midterms and identifies the race as one to watch, without giving a polling readout in the extract.
