For the second time this week, a poll has come out that showed potential trouble for New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan (D).
An American Research Group poll released Thursday showed Hassan leading Republican challenger Walt Havenstein by 2 percent.
That’s a big shift from an ARG poll conducted last week that had Hassan at a 10-point advantage. The firm’s other recent polling on the race showed her leading by comfortable margins.
The poll came on the heels of a New England College poll earlier this week that showed a large shift in favor of Havenstein. Whether both polls are outliers or are indicating a trend remains to be seen. A poll released Wednesday by the University of New Hampshire showed Hassan leading by 15 points.
The ARG poll surveyed 600 likely voters from Oct. 27 through Oct. 29. The margin of error was 4 percent.
The TPM PollTracker average on Thursday gave Hassan a 5.7 percent lead.
