On this week’s episode of Maine's Political Pulse, Morning Edition host Irwin Gratz and political reporters Mal Leary and Steve Mistler discussed a new statewide poll that gives us an early look at the electoral landscape as we head into Super Tuesday and the Democratic presidential primary. As Leary points out, there's also some cautionary information for Republican Senator Susan Collins, who appears to be in a virtual tie with Sara Gideon, one of the Democrats seeking to challenge her in November.
The team also talked about the Indian Land Claim Settlement and a bill in the legislature to overhaul it.
