Republican Don Bolduc has taken the lead in the New Hampshire senate race for the first time, according to Saint Anselm College’s New Hampshire Institute of Politics poll.
Not only that, but Real Clear Politics expects Bolduc to win.
Forty-eight percent of voters selected Gen. Bolduc, while Hassan only garnered 47 percent, well below the coveted 50 percent threshold for an incumbent. Three percent were unsure.
Breitbart reports:
RealClearPolitics projected on Tuesday Republican Senate candidate Gen. Don Bolduc will win New Hampshire’s Senate race against Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH).
The projection is a clear indication Gen. Bolduc could pull off one of the greatest upsets of the 2022 campaign season, throwing the Democrat Senate majority in doubt. New Hampshire’s senate race is one of about seven highly contested races that will determine which party controls the Senate.
RealClearPolitics politics on Monday forecasted that seven Senate races are tossups. Those include New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, Washington State, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. On Tuesday, RealClearPolitics forecasted New Hampshire as a GOP pickup.
For Republicans to retake the Senate, they need to hold Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and retake either Arizona, Nevada, Washington State, New Hampshire, or Georgia to have a one seat majority in the Senate.
Recent polling shows Gen. Bolduc is leading Hassan by one point with three percent undecided. Gen. Bolduc took the lead after trailing by 11 points six weeks ago.
Take a look below at the updated RCP senate projection.
A new Saint Anselm Poll shows Gen. Buldoc leading Hassan 48%-47%.
