A new poll from the University of New Hampshire indicates a very close race for the New Hampshire governorship, with Democrat Joyce Craig at 47% and Republican Kelly Ayotte at 46%. This reflects a competitive environment as both candidates vie to succeed popular Republican Governor Chris Sununu. The poll reveals that 78% of voters have already made their decisions ahead of the November election. Interestingly, Craig benefits from a higher favorability rating among voters, although Ayotte has greater name recognition. Concerns have been raised that former President Trump's unpopularity in the state could negatively impact Ayotte's campaign, despite her extensive political background. In congressional races, Democrats are also showing leads over their Republican counterparts, suggesting a favorable climate for the party in New Hampshire.
