CONCORD - With just two days to go until Election Day, a new NH1 poll by New England College indicates that New Hampshire's crucial U.S. Senate race between Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and GOP challenger Scott Brown remains all tied up.
And according to the survey, which was released Sunday night, Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan has a single digit lead over Republican nominee Walt Havenstein among likely voters. The poll also indicates former congressman Frank Guinta, the GOP challenger, building a lead over Democratic Rep. Carol Shea-Porter in the first congressional district three-peat battle. In the 2nd congressional district, the survey suggests that Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster continues to lead GOP state Rep. Marilinda Garcia.
The poll was conducted Friday and Saturday, entirely after the final televised debates in all four races.
According to the survey, Brown's at 49% and Shaheen's at 48%. Brown's one point margin is well within the poll's sampling error, meaning the race is deadlocked. About three percent of those questioned said they were unsure or preferred someone else.
That should upset some folks here.
Hope I can sleep tonight - I love watching election results ...
Signal to steal has just been given.
Good news.
Brown's one point margin is not enough to overcome Boston-style voter fraud
This is the only reason I don’t get excited until after the election. If the Republican is a point or two up, the Dem corruption machine usually can overcome it.
I hope the networks call it early for Scott Brown just to ensure that the liberal news commentators have a most miserable election night.
Pre-election polls always undercount the dead people and illegal aliens. Those are two of the Democrats’ most reliable voting blocks.
If the Republican is not leading by at least 4-5% in the polls, then it is hard to overcome the margin of fraud.
Close race from what I see. I still give it to the Dem Shaheen.
Overall the Reps should get 52 seats for sure, without Kansas which seems to be a trouble spot.
Palin and Cruz endorsed Roberts there and I hope he wins, but Governor Brownback is not popular and the Dem seems more likely to win for Governor there......
I heard somebody say that if its not close they can’t cheat.
On the other hand, if it is close, then they will find enough Dem. Votes to put the Democrat over the top in any close election.
In recount situations the Democrat normally gains votes. Al Franken’s recount is a prime example. So the GOP needs to win by a comfortable margin on the first count on election night to really be sure of winning elections.
This is a bellweather and I believe an early reporter. If NH goes red, Republicans will be getting at least 53 seats pro ably 54
Has voter fraud been a problem in New Hampshire?
I think the internal polling is telling them something different.
Brown's acting a lot more confident, and Shaheen keeps getting more shrill by the day.
NH is not Minnesota or Louisiana. The campaigns will determine the winner here and although I dislike Brown, I want to cheer as Shaheen bites the dust. Fingers crossed
Don’t you remember the 2008 election, where Obama took Iowa and Hillary pulled pot all the stops in New Hampshire, where they prepared for the election by eliminating ID checks and allowing same day registration on the basis of a phone or electric bill?
The Hillary team brought in bus loads of voters on Election Day from New York, Massachusetts and Vermont? Sidney Blumental was excited at what he had pulled off, that he got drunk and was pulled over for a DUI.
I don’t think I would trust any of the New Hampshire polls as they are all over the place.
I hope your right.
