"In N.H. poll, signs of a Democratic sweep; Double-digit lead for Shaheen over Sununu" by Matt Viser, Globe Staff | October 25, 2008
Just 10 days before the election, Democratic challenger Jeanne Shaheen has taken a commanding double-digit lead over the Republican incumbent, US Senator John E. Sununu, in a closely watched rematch that could help expand Democratic dominance on Capitol Hill, according to a new Boston Globe poll.
Shaheen, a former three-term governor, has the support of 49 percent of likely voters polled, compared with 36 percent for Sununu. Only 13 percent were undecided. The Globe poll indicated that Democrats are also ahead in the races for governor and both House seats in the traditionally independent Granite State. The only bright news for Republicans is that former congressman Jeb Bradley is within striking distance of winning his seat back from US Representative Carol SheaPorter, who leads by 5 percentage points.
The state of the presidential race in New Hampshire will be reported in tomorrow's Globe. The poll provides fresh evidence of the uphill battle that Republicans are facing nationally in the final days of the election, and demonstrates the toll that the economy and an unpopular president is taking on incumbent Republicans such as Sununu.
If Democrats sweep the elections next month, it would cement a shift that New Hampshire began in 2004 when it was the only state in the country to reverse its support of Bush.
In 2006, New Hampshire elected a Democratic governor by the widest margin in state history; two moderate incumbent Republican congressmen were defeated; and for the first time since 1874, Democrats took control of both houses in the state Legislature. --more--"
