There’s been some stress lately concerning the New Hampshire Senate race based on this Rasmussen poll from a week ago showing Sununu pulling ahead of Shaheen by seven points. Many of us were skeptical of such a dramatic Bununu surge, but I think now we can be assured that the poll was an outlier.
Here’s Rasmussen‘s latest (9/30, likely voters, 9/23 in parens):
Jeanne Shaheen (D): 50 (45)
John Sununu (R-inc): 45 (52)
(MoE: ±4%)
With Rasmussen polls, we occasionally see some pretty strange gyrations. While the race may still be close, I think it’s clear that last week’s poll was nothing but a “Rasmussen bounce” for Sununu.
…now it’s going to take me another three weeks to get the Bununu song out of my head.
