Barely in front.

Margin of error.

Wish they'd stop polling challengers who aren't running.

Joke poll.
Apparently Dartmouth University students conducted it and their institution has no track record on polling.

Not only that, but any poll with double digit undecideds is completely worthless.

I don't think any poll is joke, I think both polls are well within the margin of error and I think it is going to be a contested race. What is a joke poll was that ARG poll that showed Hodes leading well outside the margin of error 15 pts over Sununu.  I think Sununu will have his hands full, he isn't the concillater, reaching across the aisle like Gregg did, all he is known for is his independence on ANWR.  Gregg has done more than that to vote against ANWR drilling in reaching across the aisle.

Polls aren't jokes because they're outside the margin of error; they're jokes when nothing reasonable can be discerned from the results - which is certainly the case when there are more undecideds than anything else.

As was the case with Jeanne Shaheen people returning to office in NH have had high approvals upon leaving. That wasn't the case with John Sununu. He left office with low approvals, the Sununu era is overalready.

That's why he is on the panel to try to soften his extremist views like Jim Talent did. But Paul Hodes are still higher th an Sununu's will ever be on that panel.
