Poll-itics, New Hampshire Senate Edition: Sununu in trouble

By GottaLaff

Poor Johohohohn Sunununununununu, he's being trounced by a girl:

Democrat Jeanne Shaheen has expanded her lead over incumbent John Sununu in New Hampshire's U.S. Senate race. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state found Shaheen ahead 53% to 39%.

Last month she was ahead by 7%. Oh, but wait, it gets better:

Any incumbent who polls below 50% is considered vulnerable. Sununu has not polled over 50% since tracking began and is in a worse position than other Republicans up for re-election. However, New Hampshire is far from the only Republican seat at risk in Election 2008. At least eight other Republican seats are potentially in play this fall, including Alaska, Oregon, New Mexico, Colorado, Mississippi, Kansas, Virginia and Kentucky. So far, just two Democratic incumbents are polling below 50%--Mary Landrieu in Louisiana and Frank Lautenberg in New Jersey.

Bad sunu-news for Republicans.
