John Sununu

Andy Smith, director of the UNH Survey Center, is predicting that the Democratic federal candidates will win in New Hampshire.
 
"Barack Obama looks to win New Hampshire by a comfortable margin on Tuesday. In the race for U.S. Senate, Shaheen should win a narrow victory over incumbent John Sununu," Smith writes in his latest poll. "In Congressional races, incumbent Paul Hodes is predicted to win New Hampshire's 2nd District and incumbent Carol Shea-Porter looks to pull out a narrow victory in the 1st District."

The last debate between U.S. Sen. John Sununu (R-Waterville Valley) and former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen (D-Madbury) might be best remembered for how uneventful it was.

Shaheen attempted to tie Sununu to President Bush, while Sununu tried to separate himself from the Republican leadership.

Both the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee have been big spenders in Oregon this election cycle, according to campaign finance numbers released by the Federal Elections Commission Wednesday.

Below are the latest results from UNH/WMUR tracking poll, which shows narrowing races in the U.S. Senate race and the 1st Congressional District race.

U.S. Sen. John Sununu (R-Waterville Valley) thinks embattled U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) should resign.

"I believe it would be in the best interest of the Senate and the nation for Senator Stevens to step down," Sununu said in a statement to PolitickerNH.com.

An Associated Press poll has good news for Barack Obama and Jeanne Shaheen (D-Madbury). The poll shows Obama with an 18 point lead over John McCain, while Shaheen has a six-point lead over U.S. Sen. John Sununu (R-Waterville Valley).

Obama leads McCain 55 percent to 37 percent and Shaheen is beating Sununu 47 percent to 41 percent.

A poll sponsored by the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) has the United States Senate race tightening between former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen (D-Madbury) and incumbent U.S. Sen. John Sununu (R-Waterville Valley).

The poll, conducted by Public Opinion Strategies, showed Sununu losing to Shaheen 43 percent to 46 percent on October 23. According to a NRSC memo, the poll had Sununu at 41 percent and Shaheen at 47 percent on October 20.

MANCHESTER--Before laying out his legislative accomplishments over the past six years, U.S. Sen. John Sununu (R-Waterville Valley) told a local business club that he is looking forward to the remaining days of his re-election campaign.

"As I've pointed out to people having gone through a long campaign for 12, 14 months, really the last 2 or 3 weeks are the most exciting and invigorating part of the campaign because it's an opportunity where most of the organizational work and the fundraising work is completed," Sununu said at a meeting of the Manchester Rotary Club. "I get to focus exclusively on talking to people and campaigning town-to-town."

The New York Times has a story today about the race between Sen. Susan Collins (R-Bangor) and U.S. Rep. Tom Allen (D-Portland).

The Times singles Collins out as a Republican who was able to survive in an election cycle where many of her colleagues struggle for their political lives. They point to Sens. Gordon Smith (R-Oregon) and John Sununu (R-N.H.) as examples. Both are in tough reelection fights.
