Former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown announced Friday that he is laying the groundwork for a possible challenge against incumbent Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen in New Hampshire, but Shaheen is comfortably ahead of Brown for now in Rasmussen Reports’ first look at the possible U.S. Senate race in the Granite State.
A new statewide survey of Likely New Hampshire Voters finds Shaheen with 50% support to Brown’s 41%. Four percent (4%) like some other candidate in the race, and five percent (5%) are undecided.

Guess NH doesn’t care for carpetbaggers.
Scott Brown isn’t Jesse Helms, but he’ll give us a real shot at removing Harry Reid from his post. I hope he succeeds.
is there a conservative in the race?
I do not
It didn’t bother New York in 2000. Besides, many New Hampshire voters are Massachusetts transplants.
If a Republican incumbent was polling right at 50 percent, I bet this article would have read differently.
So the RINO’s also a carpetbagger.
Shaheen is more of a carpetbagger than Brown is. He does have generations of family buried in New Hampshire and he was raised there. Shaheen is from Missouri. Give it time. If he can close it to 4 points, Dems will lose money defending her.

Hey, Dems and RINOs.... “Let’s you and him fight!”
LOL!
Wow - a hardcore liberal lunatic vs Shaheen...
50% for an incumbent this early in the season is not a good sign. If I were Shaheen, I would be cancelling my vacation in Tom Harkin's Elbow Quay hideaway in the Bahamas.
Polls like this tend to reflect the top end for incumbents, so it suggests that Shaheen can't do better than 50%. Brown, even though he is fairly well known, has a potential upside. It remains to be seen if he can capitalize on this upside potential, but it's there for the taking. Shaheen should be worried.
At 50% or below she’s right on the edge of being replaced. She votes 0% with conservatives....he votes about 55% with conservatives. Take your pick NH.
So do I. Some here haven’t figured out that it’s a numbers game first, then comes the ideology.
Several factors are at play here:
-Anyone 34 and under has been brainwashed by public education.
-The only TV station in NH that does local news is a liberal network.
-Any college student with an ID can vote here giving dems potentially +100k voters.
-People from MA drive up and vote here, or so it’s said.
-MA transplants have made the state redder. There was a study on this a few years ago.
-Long time NH residents don’t realize how good they have it compared to other blue states.
Check out Rasmussen.....he routinely over-compensates for the dims.
If he is polling 50/40 or thereabouts for this race, this means that Scott Brown is at worst tied or likley ahead.
Compare Rasmussen to all of the pollsters on Real Clear Politics and you will see what I mean.
He caught so much flack a couple of cycles ago from the dims that he is now making nice....which is to our advantage.
However, New Yorkers have made it bluer. Red Hampshire will NEVER go conservative again. Let it go, folks.
It’s too early. Wait til Shaheen gets the Obamacare necklace treatment.
This will be a close race. Brown is a very likeable rino. And I predict that he wins by 2%.
And if Brown is a “carpetbagger” than so is half of NH. The half that escaped from Taxachusetts.
Four percent (4%) like some other candidate in the race, and five percent (5%) are undecided.

Add 7% more to Browns 41%. Half of those who now say “another candidate” will, in the end, go for the challenger. Undecideds ALWAYS go for the challenger. So, right now It’s Shaheen 50% and Brown 48%. And, remember, Brown is not even officially a candidate yet and has not yet begun to spend that boatload of money, that he has, campaigning.
