West Long Branch, NJ – Hillary Clinton still leads Donald Trump in New Hampshire, but by a narrower margin than she did last month. Clinton’s current 4 point edge is down from 9 points in September, according to the Monmouth University Poll . The U.S. Senate contest has now moved into a tie from a 2 point Republican advantage last month. In the race for governor, the Democrat has now taken a 5 point lead, overcoming a 6 point deficit in the prior poll.

Among Granite State voters likely to participate in November’s presidential election, 46% support Clinton and 42% back Trump. Another 7% intend to vote for Libertarian Gary Johnson and 1% support Green Party candidate Jill Stein. Clinton led Trump by 47% to 38% in September.

Clinton leads among women (56% to 31%) and voters with a college degree (56% to 34%). These results are similar to Clinton’s advantage with women (56% to 30%) and college graduates (54% to 31%) last month. Trump leads among men (54% to 34%) and voters without a college education (50% to 35%), which is slightly better than his September margins among men (47% to 37%) and non-college graduates (47% to 40%).

“Trump’s support among his base voters has ticked up, but not enough to erase Clinton’s overall advantage,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.

New Hampshire voters have a slightly more negative view of Trump than Clinton. Only 28% have a favorable opinion of the Republican nominee while 61% hold an unfavorable view of him. This compares with a 30% favorable and 63% unfavorable rating last month. Slightly more voters (33%) have a favorable opinion of the Democratic nominee while 57% hold an unfavorable view of her. This compares with a 36% favorable and 56% unfavorable rating last month.

Turning to the state’s U.S. Senate race, incumbent Kelly Ayotte and current governor Maggie Hassan are tied at 46% to 46%. One month ago, Ayotte had a small 47% to 45% lead over Hassan. Libertarian Brian Chabot earns 5% of the vote.

The top of the ticket is having an impact on the Senate race, particularly for the Republican candidate. Nearly 3-in-10 voters (29%) say Ayotte has been too supportive of Trump and 24% say she has not been supportive enough. Far fewer voters express similar concerns about Hassan’s support of Clinton, with 21% saying the Democrat has been too supportive of her party’s presidential nominee and only 5% saying she has not been supportive enough.

Voter opinion of both major party nominees has worsened in the heat of the campaign. Overall, 40% of voters have a favorable opinion of Ayotte and 35% have an unfavorable view, compared with a 48% favorable and 32% unfavorable rating last month. Likewise, 40% of voters have a favorable opinion of Hassan and 35% have an unfavorable view, compared with a 47% favorable and 27% unfavorable rating last month.

“This campaign has taken a toll on two politicians who started out as largely popular among their constituents,” said Murray.

The Monmouth University Poll also finds that Democrats have improved their chances of holding onto control of the Granite State governorship. Executive Councilor Colin Van Ostern now has a 48% to 43% lead over fellow councilor Chris Sununu. Sununu, who is the son of a former Republican governor, actually held a 49% to 43% lead in this race just one month ago. Another 4% of New Hampshire voters say they will vote for Libertarian Max Abramson.

The Monmouth University Poll was conducted by telephone from October 22 to 25, 2016 with 401 New Hampshire residents likely to vote in the November election. This sample has a margin of error of ± 4.9 percent. The poll was conducted by the Monmouth University Polling Institute in West Long Branch, NJ.
