DURHAM, N.H. – With two weeks to go until primary day in New Hampshire, a new public opinion survey indicates that retired Army Gen. Don Bolduc remains the front-runner in the Republican Senate nomination race in the key general election battleground state.

The winner of the Sept. 13 contest, which is the last of the competitive and high-profile Republican Senate primaries this election cycle, will face off in November’s midterms with former governor and first-term Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan – and the GOP views her as vulnerable. The contest is one of handful across the nation that could determine if Republicans win back the Senate majority.

Bolduc stands at 43% support among likely Republican primary voters questioned in a Granite State Poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center that was released on Tuesday, with small business owner and New Hampshire state Senate President Chuck Morse at 22%.

The new poll is the second – following a recent one from the St. Anselm College Survey Center – to indicate Bolduc, who’s making a second straight bid for the Senate, with a double-digit lead over Morse, with everyone else in single digits.

While Trump has remained neutral in the primary battle, Bolduc on Monday landed the backing of nationally syndicated conservative talk radio host John Fredericks, who chaired Trump’s 2016 and 2020 campaigns in Virginia. And former Trump White House chief strategist and former media executive Steve Bannon has heavily promoted Bolduc on his program. But longtime New Hampshire resident and veteran Trump political adviser Corey Lewandowski, who managed Trump’s 2016 presidential primary campaign, has heavily criticized Bolduc.

Bolduc has been on Bannon’s War Room several times. He’s impressive.

Unrelated thought, I wonder why Oz doesn’t pay a visit to the War Room.

I’m not in NH or even close by any longer.

Bolduc sounds awesome.

Also, he was quite visionary starting to campaign three years ago.

Voters NH would like to see POTUS Trump endorse a Senate GOP candidate and also 2 NH GOP Congressional candidates.... waiting for that.

The NH Primary is Sept 13.

I am voting for Bolduc - as are many veterans here in NH. Corey L sounds like he is pressuring Trump to endorse another GOP primary candidate than Bolduc. Like Chuck Morse or Kevin Smith for US Senate.

I don't trust anyone but Bolduc. And, with China/military affairs looming large in coming months, Bolduc is the best choice.

Bannon's War Room has had Bolduc on numerous times for interviews all summer. A Bannon "favorite."

I hope your state has better luck than ours. We had Chris Jacobs, military/war veteran and supposedly pro 2A.

He folded like a cheap suit.

[DMD13]

I have wondered that too. It could possibly help Oz a lot.

[ConservativeInPA]

I heard he’s been on Hannity. I guess that is still a big audience. I can’t stand Hannity so I no longer watch.

Is the issue of same day registration and out of state voters, crossing the border, telling the folks at the polling location that they just moved to NH and haven’t had a chance to register yet, still a problem?

[FreeReign]

Not sure why Lewandowski doesn’t want Bolduc.

[CarolinaReaganFan]

So Bannon endorses him?
If so,that’s good enough for me

[dgbrown]

I’ll be voting for him, but in the general election he will have a rough time. NH is no longer the conservative state it used to be. If we could keep the Mass. people away from the polls it might help him beat Hassan.
