Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan leads Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) in a UMass Lowell/7News poll of the closely-watched U.S. Senate race in New Hampshire.
Hassan comes out one point ahead, 47-46, with Libertarian candidate Brian Chabot following at 4 percent among likely New Hampshire voters.
The Democratic challenger took the lead from the incumbent senator since UMass Lowell/7News last polled the race in October, when Ayotte led by one points, 45-44.
The UMass Lowell/7News poll was conducted Oct. 28-Nov. 2 among 695 likely New Hampshire voters via live telephone interview, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.28 percent.
TPM’s PollTracker Average for the U.S. Senate election in New Hampshire shows a tossup, with Ayotte leading Hassan, 46.1 to 46.
Ayotte is so bad. I mean she’s awful. She’s such a mumbling, contradicting, wilt-under-pressure pol. I can’t even understand how its that close in NH. Hassan seems so much more equipped to handle the work and the stress of being in the Senate than shrinking violet Ayotte.
