New Hampshire's 2nd Congressional District's Democratic incumbent representative could serve another two-year term as polling data showed the Republican candidate losing steam ahead of midterm Election Day.

Rep. Ann McLane Kuster, D-N.H. 2nd District, had encountered a narrow reelection campaign against Republican candidate, and millennial, Marilinda Garcia, a state representative. Based on New England College Polling Center's latest survey released on Oct. 24, Kuster saw an increase in support to 49.2 percent. As Latin Post reported, the previous New England College poll has Kuster with 46.1 percent. Garcia previously had 42.5 percent of the poll but with the latest survey saw a 0.5 percent drop to 42 percent.

The survey between Kuster and Garcia comprised New Hampshire residents from the 2nd Congressional District. Of the 576 survey participants from the district, 3.6 percent of respondents said they will vote for another candidate while 5.2 percent were not sure of their vote.

Kuster also led the poll among female voters by a convincing margin. Kuster received 52.3 percent of the female vote compared to 37.3 percent for Garcia. Other female voters with 6.8 percent of the poll were not sure which candidate to vote for while 3.5 percent were set for another candidate.

The male vote, however, is in a statistical dead heat. Male voters narrowly favored Garcia with 47.3 percent compared to 45.7 percent for Kuster. Compared to the previous New England College poll, Kuster may have gained some male voters as she had received 43.6 percent support while Garcia had 46.2 percent.

Independent voters and individuals who were unenrolled to a political party also showed greater support for the Democratic incumbent. Kuster received 51.5 percent of the vote while Garcia had 35.1 percent.

The latest polling data comes as the National Republican Congressional Campaign (NRCC) will start airing advertisements in New Hampshire against Kuster. According to WMUR-TV, the NRCC will contribute $100,000 for television spots that will schedule to air Oct. 29.

Garcia has also been under the spotlight for not properly citing a magazine editorial, or plagiarism. Although the speech was made in 2012 at the New Hampshire State House, Garcia issued an apology.

"It appears I did not verbally attribute select excerpts of a speech I delivered on the house floor in 2012 to the article from which they came. I acknowledge that I should have verbally cited the author of the article, and apologize for the oversight," said Garcia, via the Concord Monitor.

The plagiarism claim against Garcia was regarding a speech she delivered in support of repealing New Hampshire's marriage equality law. A second plagiarism claim was also alleged against Garcia from excerpts from a 1930s book written by Matthew Page Andrews. Garcia has not commented on the second allegation. Garcia's campaign, however, stated Kuster has also plagiarized on at least three instances. The Garcia campaign stated Kuster used excerpts from another U.S. congressman and descriptions of a proposed bill.

Garcia and Kuster are scheduled to debate on Tuesday night at 7 p.m. EST on WMUR-TV.
