Poll: Shaheen Narrowly Ahead of Sununu
A new Rasmussen poll of New Hampshire finds former Democratic Governor Jeanne Shaheen beating GOP Senator John Sununu by a 48%-43% margin. On the one hand, this lead is much lower than in other polls that have Shaheen ahead by 15 points and up. On the other hand, the incumbent is nevertheless behind his challenger, and below 50% support.
Shaheen, who announced her candidacy on Friday, narrowly lost to Sununu in 2002. The state has become much more Democratic since then, with Dem majorities in both houses of the state legislature and Democrats holding both of the state's House seats.

This is a much smaller margin that we are used to seeing. Rasmussen also polled the presidential primaries of the state, with Clinton and ROmney ahead.
