(The Center Square) — Oyster fisherman and political newcomer Graham Platner has widened a lead over Gov. Janet Mills in Maine's Democratic primary race for U.S. Senate, according to a new independent poll.

The poll by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, released on Tuesday, found 64% say they would vote for Platner if the primary were held today, compared to 25% who say they would vote for Mills. Only 6% said they were undecided. A poll released by the center in October showed Platner with a 58% to 24% lead over Mills, with 14% undecided.
