We will also include any other new names nominated in the comments and uprated by at least 2 additional people.

BH Straw Poll: NH-02 #2

by: Mike Hoefer

Fri Jul 08, 2011 at 09:12:12 AM EDT

Not sure its even worth polling this race. Based on the strength on the strength of Ann Kusters campaign infrastructure and success in 2010 it's hard to imagine a viable primary here.

BH Straw Poll: NH-01 #2

by: Mike Hoefer

Fri Jul 08, 2011 at 09:02:34 AM EDT

Our previous poll was overwhelming dominated by Carol Shea Porter. Since then Joanne Dowdell has official joined the process and I have been asked by several include Andrew Hosmer (St. Senate Candidate in 2010) in this poll.

The BH Research Department has aslo come across this site for Matthew Hancock.

If Lynch does run again, I suspect this will be the only major office with an interesting Primary.

For Whom the Straw Polls...

by: Mike Hoefer

Mon Apr 11, 2011 at 17:04:26 PM EDT

(First polls coming Friday, Get your nominations in. - promoted by Mike Hoefer)

I am going to put three comments in this thread to allow folks to nominate names we should include in straw polling for Gov, NH-01, and NH-02.

Governor Lynch is polling strongly and could be considering a historic 5th term, but for the sake of this polling we'll assume he is not.

Ann Kuster has announced (much to the relief of folks like me who have not removed their bumper stickers!) that she will run again in NH-02, but are there any other folks we should poll there?

NH-01 could be very interesting with Guinta's weak numbers (-7 favorability) and an open Dem seat. Whom should we poll for that race?

Please let us know who we should include. Wannabees get your mail lists ready!

July Straw Poll - Senate Primary

by: Nicholas Gunn

Thu Jul 12, 2007 at 19:50:21 PM EDT

Below the fold is the third Blue Hampshire reader Straw Poll for the Senate Primary.  We are trying to do these on a monthly basis, so we can track the results as the election draws closer.

You must be logged in to vote.  If you have an account, please log in and click on 'There's More' to vote.  If you don't have an account but are a regular reader, feel free to sign up for a free user account and vote.

Obviously, this is not a scientific poll.  If we get a large enough sample, however, we can still get a good deal of insight from it.  For the purposes of this poll, I will only be listing declared candidates.  If you would like to vote for a candidate who is not declared (like Jeanne Shaheen) please choose ?Other?.

Your votes will be anonymous, so you don't have to come out publicly in favor of one candidate or another.  Feel free to use this thread to discuss the candidates.

Here are our results to date:






Candidate   May    June   
Steve Marchand 59% 56%
Katrina Swett 17% 7%
Other 24% 37%


Thank you for voting!
