New reporting from WMUR shows that not only is John Sununu leading Scott Brown in the primary, but he is statistically tied with Chris Pappas to be New Hampshire’s next U.S. Senator.
“Chris Pappas is a rubber stamp for Democrats’ failed policies and this poll further proves that Granite Staters are ready for change,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Samantha Cantrell. “John Sununu is a fighter for New Hampshire and will turn the Granite State red in November.”
As reported by WMUR:
A new poll shows that New Hampshire is getting closer to a matchup between U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas and former U.S. Sen. John E. Sununu in the race for U.S. Senate.

The poll of 1,491 registered New Hampshire voters was conducted from March 16-18 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.5%.Sununu is in a notable primary, up against a fellow former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown.
The poll shows that the primary race is not close, with Sununu leading Brown 49% to 28%, with 23% of Republican primary voters unsure. The poll of Republican voters has a margin of sampling error of 3.8%.
In the Democratic primary, Pappas is maintaining a dominant position. The poll shows him with 71%, progressive challenger Karishma Manzur with 9% and state Rep. Jared Sullivan with 3%, along with 18% of Democratic primary voters who say they’re unsure who they might support.
