NH: Democratic hopefuls Carol Shea-Porter and Annie Kuster lead their Opponents; Obama by Six
Released: Aug 14, 2012 12:47 PM
Burlington, VT – Today, Democracy for America (DFA), released poll numbers showing President Barack Obama leading Republican nominee Mitt Romney by 6 in New Hampshire and democratic hopefuls Carol Shea-Porter and Annie Kuster hold strong leads in their respective districts.
Statewide, President Barack Obama leads Mitt Romney by 6 points with likely voters in New Hampshire. The margin of error for the poll conducted is 2.5%, making his lead well outside the margin of error. Voters in New Hampshire overwhelmingly favor ending the Bush Tax Cuts for people earning over $250,000 a year and oppose turning Medicare into a voucher program – as proposed by Vice-Presidential candidate Paul Ryan.
In New Hampshire’s First District, Carol Shea-Porter leads her opponent by a 4 point margin – outside of the margin of error. Asked whether voters in the First District have a favorable or unfavorable of Shea-Porter’s opponent, Frank Guinta, only 38% have a favorable opinion of the work he’s done in Washington, DC.
In New Hampshire’s Second District, Annie Kuster also leads her opponent by a 4 point margin – again, outside the margin of error. When asked about the favorability voters had of Kuster’s opponent Republican Charlie Bass, voters hold only a 39% favorable opinion of him.
This polling was conducted August 7th and 8th are a strong indicator at how the Granite State will swing 84 days out from the election. Jim Dean, Chair of Democracy for America said, “It’s time people saw through these Republican lies. We need to call a spade a spade and made it clear to the people of New Hampshire that the Romney and Ryan budget will destroy Medicare and Social Security and that folks like Carol and Annie will stand up and protect these important social services not just now, but for future generations. That’s why I’m proud that these two are members of DFA’s Dean Dozen.”
The polling was paid for by Democracy for America and was conducted August 7th and 8th in a survey of 1,591 likely voters in New Hampshire with the margin of error falling to 2.5%. In New Hampshire’s First District, the poll surveyed 736 likely voters, for the Second District, the poll surveyed 855 likely voters. The Dean Dozen is DFA's highest tier of federal endorsement. It is limited to 12 total candidates running for either US House or US Senate and represents the races that DFA will expend the greatest amount of resources on during the 2012 cycle.
