UNH: Bradley, Hodes ahead in races

A University of New Hampshire poll puts former U.S. Rep. Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro) and U.S. Rep. Paul Hodes (D-Concord) ahead in their respective races.

In the 1st Congressional District Bradley is beating incumbent U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-Rochester) 45 percent to 42 percent with 12 percent undecided. In the 2nd Congressional District Hodes is leading Jennifer Horn (R-Nashua) 38 percent to 26 percent with 33 undecided.

The poll WMUR Granite State Poll, sponsored by WMUR-TV and conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center.

According to the poll, "Bradley's net favorability rating has plummeted to +7% from +21% in July." 36 percent of unlikely voters have a favorable opinion of Bradley and his unfavorable rating is 29 percent.

"The hard fought primary battle between Bradley and John Stephen has hurt Bradley," said UNH Survey Center Director Andrew Smith.

It's working. All Carol has


It's working. All Carol has to do is hammer away at Bradley's miserable record voting against veterans, and being a faithful lapdog to Bush, and his approval rating will sink right along with the Dow average. 2 weeks ago he was ahead by 6 points, now it's down to 3 points, well within the margin of error, and they haven't even had a debate yet. You'll remember that Carol absolutely made him look ridiculous in the two debates they held in 2006.

Hey Dick!


All Jeb has to do is point out that Carol Che-Porter voted with Nancy "San Fran Nan" Pelosi and her marxist agenda 99% of the time, and NH families about 1% of the time, since she went to DC.

Carol Che-Porter: For "the rest of us" marxists!

Joe McCarthy, my hero!


Every time I hear a progressive called a socialist or marxist, I have to wonder. Did these people knock their heads when they came up from a "duck and cover" exercise?

Witch hunts and black lists are not good things. Well, to the sane, anyways
