New Hampshire polls signal tight 2022 Senate race

Approval ratings for New Hampshire Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan and GOP Gov. Chris Sununu have fallen recently, suggesting a tight race if the Granite State political titans face off for Senate in 2022.

Hassan is running for her second, six-year Senate term. She was previously governor for four years, preceding Sununu in leading the state. But just one-third of New Hampshire residents have a favorable opinion of Hassan, while 51% have an unfavorable opinion of her, a Granite State Poll conducted by the University New Hampshire Survey Center released this week found.
