Polling and prediction markets favor Representative Chris Pappas over Karishma Manzur in New Hampshire’s Democratic Senate primary, though the race has tightened in one poll. The article also describes a potentially competitive general election against Republican John Sununu.
The University of New Hampshire poll put Pappas 13 points ahead of Manzur, while a Saint Anselm College poll showed a 31-point lead and a Pappas campaign poll showed a 56-point lead. The article notes that the UNH result was closer than its earlier polls. Pappas and Manzur urged supporters to vote, and prediction markets gave Pappas a 98 percent chance of winning the primary.
For the general election, two polls described a close matchup between Pappas and Sununu, while other polls favored Pappas. The article says no public polls have tested Manzur against Sununu and characterizes the Senate race as competitive, with forecasters giving Democrats a slight advantage.
