Hassan will win 51-48 in the end. It's impossible for a Republican to get more than 48% in a federal race in NH today. That being said, Climbing Maggie would be toast in any remotely competitive state.
Ummm, did Ayotte not win with 60% of the vote just 6 years ago?
Well, her opponent was a male sacrificial lamb who was associated with a black man in the White House. Joe Manchin won with more than 60% in WV in 2012, that doesn't make WV a swing state.
Also this poll really seems to be fake: Ayotte leads Hassan by 8 points in NH-02 (46%-38%). NH-02 is a Democratic stronghold, represented in Congress by Ann Kuster, who easily beat her Hispanic Democratic opponent in 2014 by double digits. There is no way Ayotte is up in NH-02, much less by 8 points. This poll also showed Ann Kuster only up 6 points against her unknown opponents. So to me it seems as if this poll was done in hopes of tricking Republicans to waste money in the Senate race and in NH-02. Not to mention that despite all the negative coverage Hassan has received recently, she STILL leads Ayotte by 2 in this fake poll. Republicans need to concede this race and focus on winnable states.
WMUR is in cahoots with the Dems?
