UNH: Carol Shea-Porter Beating ALL Rivals

by: Dean Barker

(Bumped, because you know it drives the UL crazy. - promoted by Dean Barker)

It's UNH, but I'll take it.  Our Carol is showing significant gains, and currently beating every credible challenger. She's ahead of Guinta by 5, ahead of Ashooh by 8, ahead of Mahoney by 9, and ahead of Bestani by 11.

But of course, the pollster can't help himself from punditry:

It's a dramatic change from April, when the poll showed Shea-Porter trailing every major Republican candidate.

"Carol Shea-Porter seems to have benefited from staying out of the limelight for the last several months," said Andy Smith of the UNH Survey Center.

That's completely wrong.

Carol's House work has been extremely active, and the false hit jobs run against her by her rivals and their media enablers have been non-stop in her district.  What's been out of the limelight, mostly, is her actual campaigning, which is par for the course for her at this time of year.  So I'm really looking forward to seeing what the numbers show when her campaign is in full gear.

Adding: What's so funny about the timing of this is that I literally have seven or eight different, and positive, items about CSP in my to-do box, and am so behind on them I was going to put them in a round-up tonight.  But now I'm going to let these numbers sit for a while, and post the roundup tomorrow.
