New ARG Poll: Shaheen over Sununu, 57-29

Yesterday we heard from a different poll that only 31% of respondents think Sununu should be re-elected.

Today ARG reports that in a head-to-head match with Jeanne Shaheen, he loses by 28 points -- nearly a two-to-one margin.

I take two lessons from these two polls:

  1. Shaheen is indeed a very strong candidate, and might indeed "guarantee" a win
  2. Sununu is extraordinarily weak. It may well be the case that any of the Democratic candidates would beat him.

I know, I know -- don't underestimate him; he's won some tough races before. But his positions on Iraq, Social Security, the minimum wage, and stem cell research seem to have caught up with him.
