New Hampshire Elections 2014 Polls: 'Too Close to Call' for Governor, Senate, House Elections in Granite State
Registered New Hampshire voters will have a busy Tuesday as the Granite State's Election Day consist of gubernatorial, Senate and House elections.
Gubernatorial Election:
Polling data from the University of New Hampshire and television affiliate WMUR has the state's gubernatorial election as "too close to call." Democratic incumbent Gov. Maggie Hassan previously had a "commanding lead" against Republican candidate Walt Havenstein, but the latest survey results showed her lead decreasing and undecided voters sway toward the challenger.
The WMUR and UNH poll has Hassan with 45 percent to Havenstein's 40 percent, but 14 percent were undecided. If the undecided voters were tasked to select a candidate, they are leaning towards Hassan, who received 47 percent and 43 percent went for Havenstein. Nine percent remained undecided.
The survey's respondents, however, predict Hassan will be re-elected on Tuesday night. While 64 percent expect the Democratic incumbent to win, 21 percent think Havenstein will emerge victorious.
Millennials, the largest age group in the U.S. between the ages of 18 and 34, gave Hassan a double-digit advantage against Havenstein. Hassan received 54 percent of the millennial vote compared to 33 percent for Havenstein, while 12 percent were undecided.
The WMUR and UNH poll was conducted with 757 likely voters from New Hampshire between Oct. 29 and Nov. 2.
The New England College poll, however, has Hassan with a larger lead than Havenstein. Among the registered likely voters from New Hampshire, Hassan received 51 percent to 43.7 percent for Havenstein. Independent and undeclared voters favored Hassan with 51.4 percent to 42.9 percent for Havenstein.
Women overwhelmingly supported Hassan with 55.4 percent compared to 39.2 percent for Havenstein. Among male voters, it was a narrow result with Havenstein ahead of Hassan. The Republican candidate received 49.8 percent to the Democrat's 45.9 percent.
The New England College poll for the state's gubernatorial election was made up of 1,526 likely voters between Oct. 31 and Nov. 1.
Ahead of this year's midterm election, 45 percent of likely voters within the 1st Congressional District would vote for Guinta while 41 percent favored Shea-Porter. Fourteen percent of voters were undecided. If the undecided voters had to support a candidate they leaned toward, then the election is tied at 47 percent, each.
Millennials overwhelmingly supported Shea-Porter with 56 percent. Guinta received 26 percent of the millennial vote while 19 percent were undecided.
The New England College Poll showed Guinta with a larger lead. The Republican candidate received 52.2 percent to the Democratic incumbent's 42.9 percent.
