New Hampshire Survey of 500 Likely Voters
September 16, 2007
Election 2008: New Hampshire Senate
John Sununu (R): 43%
Jeanne Shaheen (D): 48%
Shaheen leads by fifteen points among women while Sununu has a four point edge among men. The former Governor has an eight-point lead among New Hampshire’s unaffiliated voters.
While New Hampshire is typically the focus on Presidential campaigns at this time of year, the state is one of several where Democrats hope to pick up Senate seats in 2008. Sununu won his current job by defeating Shaheen in 2002, but the political environment has changed significantly since that time. Recent polls also show Republican Senate seats at risk in Virginia and Minnesota.
Shaheen is viewed favorably by 51% of New Hampshire voters and unfavorably by 44%.
Sununu’s numbers are almost identical—50% favorable and 43% unfavorable.
Any incumbent who polls below 50% early in the campaign cycle is considered potentially vulnerable. An incumbent who trails the challenger at this point in the process is especially so.

Who lost New Hampshire?
She is just another crooked, vote fraud promoting politician!
I trust Raz more than the other pollsters. Sununu is quite dead yet. I’ll move the NH Senate seat from Likely Dem to Lean Dem. Sununu’s fate could rest on whether the GOP Presidential candidate can win NH by a comfortable margin.
I mean Sununu is not dead yet.
Massachusetts Dimocrats who moved up there because the taxes are lower and the cost-of-living more reasonable.

Truly? I thought there were influxes from Vermont and NY too. I think a lot of it started on the local level with people clamoring for schools. And all those "brick and mortar" projects meant jobs for all the locals - for every plumber, carpenter, and electrician. It's time for the NH GOP to stop blaming the "Massholes" and offer something better than "we're not them".
It’s not over, but it’s bleak. We’ll lose this one; and Coleman in MN is hanging on by his fingernails against Franken. There is a good chance in VA that we’ll lose Warner’s seat. Likely we’ll keep Hagel’s seat, but even that won’t be easy. It is not a good time for Republicans.
Coleman losing to Franken. Ugh! What is wrong with people?
When the serious debates/adds began, people will not vote for that freaking idiot Franken.
While anything can happen and it’s a pretty bleak year:
I have not seen a single poll where Coleman is trailing Frankencomic.

if that was the case Rockingham County would have voted for Kerry but if you look at the map Rockingham county voted for the Republican in the last few elections. Even when the blue wave hit Rockingham county still voted for the Republicans.
It is the VT, ME, NY and college kids that turned it blue my friend
These numbers are far more reassuring than others from New Hampshire for Shaheen. This is a GOP incumbent who has to take some moderate positions because of the liberal influx into the state. We have to support him regardless of that because he is a firm vote for conservatism in the USSC and Shaheen would not be.
Yes. Sununu has often been a disappointment. But Shaheen would be a disaster. It’s vital to get the vote out for Sununu.
Shaheen & Sununu ?
Is Rama-Lama-Ding-Dong also in the race?
I thought senators had 6 year terms? Are we now polling for these races 14 months before the election too? If so, this poll is beyond worthless.
