Republican Scott Brown leads incumbent Democratic senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire by five points in a recent poll obtained by THE WEEKLY STANDARD. The poll, commissioned by the Republican Governor’s Association, was conducted on March 19 and 20 and asked 600 likely voters in New Hampshire who they would vote for in the U.S. Senate election. Respondents were given both Brown and Shaheen’s names and their respective parties.

According to the poll, 36 percent said they would “definitely” vote for Brown, the former senator from Massachusetts, while 13 percent said they would “probably” vote for him, bringing his total support to 49 percent. The same poll found 37 percent said they would “definitely” vote for Shaheen with 6 percent saying they would “probably” vote for her, with a total of 44 percent in support of the incumbent Democrat. Seven percent said they did not know who they would vote for.
