New Hampshire GOP Primary Survey (9/13/10)

In our final poll of the New Hampshire Republican primary for US Senate, we find Kelly Ayotte leading Ovide Lamontagne by 4 points, 35% to 31%. Bill Binnie is third with 14%, Jim Bender with 10%, the generic “another candidate” receives 3%, and 7% are undecided. These results are based on a September 12^th automated survey of 1,083 likely Republican and independent primary voters who intend to vote in the September 14^th primary. This survey has a margin of error of +/- 2.98% at the 95% confidence interval.

The story in this race is the 10 point surge in support for Ovide Lamontagne since our last survey on September 1^st. His increase in support is broad, but not limited to any particular subgroup of voters. He has improved his standing among every major voting subgroup in the state by 9 to 11 points. Kelly Ayotte is still leading the race, and has increased her support by 1 to 3 points across major voting subgroups. Clearly she has been successful “holding” her voters in place.
