The big chatter among Al Gore enthusiasts tonight is the new Suffolk University Poll showing him edging Hillary Clinton in a hypothetical New Hampshire primary by a 32-26 margin. But, as Dean notes, the real nugget may be this (likely voters):
Re-elect Sen. John Sununu (R): 31%
Time for someone else: 47%
(MoE: ±4.38%)
I don’t see how a textbook Bush Republican like Sununu can survive in New England next year. His time is up.
And check out the other shoe that dropped this morning.
29%???
30% of Repubs won’t vote for Sununu? So much for that Club for Growth endorsement.
The ARG poll breakdown: 553 interviews, 166 Repubs, 155 Dems, and 232 Indies, MoE 4.2
with mainstream GOP voters? If the numbers you used above are accurate there has to be some cause of Sununu’s poll numbers tanking with Republicans as well as the general public.
I realize that NH is trending Blue team very rapidly but that would not have much of an impact on a Republican candidate with the Republican base.
Anyone have any thoughts or insight?
I don’t see any reason she’d continue to tease voters and I’m sure she feels the seat was stolen from her with all those robocalls. I imagine Chuck Schumer is camped outside her house.

against the challenger who is a popular statewide elected official.
In 2006
1)Casey vs Santorum(PA)
Santorum was the clear underdog throughout the campaign.
In 2004
1)Thune vs Daschle(SD)
This was a tossup
In 2002
1)Pryor vs Hutchinson(AR)
Hutchinson was the underdog.
In 2000
1)Carper vs Roth(DE)- Roth was the underdog.
2)Carnahan vs Ashcroft(MO)- Tossup
3)Allen vs Robb(VA)- Robb was the underdog.
Sununu who is less controversial than Santorum,Hutchinson,Roth and Robb is polling worse then those folks.
