SurveyUSA (10/4-5, likely voters, 10/26-29/2007 in parens):
Jeanne Shaheen (D): 48 (53)
John Sununu (R-inc): 40 (42)
Ken Blevens (L): 7 (-)
(MoE: ± 3.9%)
Keep in mind those trend lines are from nearly a year ago, which just underscores how thoroughly strong Shaheen has been in this race. In fact, of all the many, many polls of this race since Shaheen’s entry, we’ve only seen two that have showed Sununu ahead — and those polls were by the sometimes-wobbly Rasmussen, and the often-funky ARG.
Bonus finding: Obama leads McCain by 53-40 in the same poll.
SSP currently rates this race as Lean Democratic.
Or does it seem really strange that 50-64 year olds are voting so heavily for Shaheen and Obama?
Shaheen leads 48-40 /w only 5% undecided… although I doubt Ken will pull 7%.
No but seriously yesterday I plastered my campus with Jeanne Shaheen stickers. I just wish they weren’t McCain green. I mean, I know she’s a proud Mick and all (as am I) but really… bright green for your campaign color?
If Shaheen is leading, and Obama is winning NH by a wide margin, I wonder what this is all going to do for Carol Shea-Porter over in the 1st District. Gosh, I hope Carol can still pull it off with some Obama coattails. I don’t want Jeb Bradley down in DC again.
