The latest New Hampshire polling suggests that it doesn't matter how much GOP candidates try to distance themselves from Donald Trump—if they're still endorsing him, voters take note. Anthony Brooks writes:
The WBUR poll also found the presidential contest is having a big effect on New Hampshire's Senate race between the incumbent Republican, Kelly Ayotte, and the Democrat, Gov. Maggie Hassan. According to the poll, Hassan now leads by 10 points in a race that could determine which party will control the Senate.
"There's a very close relationship between the votes for Kelly Ayotte and Donald Trump," pollster Koczela said. "Their support is sort of locked together. And with the direction that Donald Trump seems to be heading in, Kelly Ayotte's task is to somehow decouple those two."
Trump = Toxic. The last WBUR poll, three months ago, had Hassan leading Ayotte by just two points, virtually a toss up.
Please donate $3 to help turn the Senate blue. The future of the Supreme Court depends on it.
