Brown-Shaheen Race Virtually Tied

The New Hampshire Senate race could go either way, with Democratic incumbent Jeanne Shaheen locked in a dead heat with Republican challenger Scott Brown. A pair of polls show both candidates with their own one-point lead, and the Real Clear Politics average of polls has Shaheen with less than a point advantage.

The first poll from New England College gives Brown the lead, 49 percent to 48 percent. That poll has consistently shown Brown ahead by one point since early October. Read the full polling memo here.
