A new poll conducted by the Saint Anselm College Survey Center (SACSC) at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics (NHIOP) finds 68% of New Hampshire registered voters now believe the country is on the wrong track, down from 74% reported in our January poll. 21% believe it is headed in the right direction. This political environment has led to slightly improved job approval for incumbents. However, approval of President Biden’s handling of the economy remains unchanged. 58% of voters disapprove of the job Biden has done on the economy against 40% who approve, unchanged since January. A plurality of 32% blame high inflation on Biden.
President Joe Biden’s job approval has increased slightly to 43%-57% from 41%-58% in January. Governor Chris Sununu has recovered from his career low and is now at 62%-36%. Senator Jeanne Shaheen has improved slightly and is now at 48%-47%; Senator Maggie Hassan is at 46%-49%; Congressman Chris Pappas is at 43%-42%; and Congresswoman Annie Kuster is at 42%-45%.
Governor Sununu starts with a strong lead in his re-election campaign. Sununu is the only incumbent that enjoys ballot strength over 50%, and leads in a hypothetical matchup against his only announced challenger, State Senator Tom Sherman, 51%-24%.
Hassan’s ballot strength in hypothetical match-ups averages 44%, up 2 points from January; however, her potential opponents’ ballot strength averages 36%, up 7 points from January. 2020 candidate Don Bolduc continues to be the best known of the field with 70% name recognition and 45% of voters having an opinion of him. Bolduc also holds Hassan to the tightest margin at 5 points, 44%-39%.

New Hampshire is a swing state, so the fact that Sen. Maggie Hassan (D) and her lead over Bolduc is just 5 points anymore should be very troubling for Democrats in the next months …
