A new PPP (D) survey of the New Hampshire Republican Senate primary finds Kelly Ayotte cruising in first with a huge lead over other would-be Republican nominees. The poll has Ayotte with 47%, rival Bill Binnie with 14%, and the other contenders mired in the single digits.
Ayotte’s lead in this PPP poll is the largest she’s had. A Magellan poll from late May gave Ayotte only a nine-point leader over Binnie, and a PPP poll from April put Ayotte’s lead at 24 points.
The TPM Poll Average shows former state Attorney General Ayotte with a general election lead of 48.1-38.2 over Democratic Rep. Paul Hodes.
The new PPP poll also took a look at the New Hampshire Republican gubernatorial primary. The poll showed John Stephen with 26%, Jack Kimball with 15%, Karen Testerman with 5%, and Frank Emiro with 3%.
The margin of error of the latest PPP poll is ±4.81 percentage points.
