NH Sen Poll: Hodes Loses Ground

Rep. Paul Hodes (D) now trails all three of his potential rivals in the New Hampshire Senate race, a new Rasmussen poll (500 LVs, 4/7, MoE +/- 4.5%) finds.

General Election Matchups
Ayotte (R) 50 (+3 vs. last poll, 3/8)
Hodes (D) 35 (-2)
Und 11 (-1)

Lamontagne (R) 44 (+6)
Hodes (D) 39 (-3)
Und 11 (-4)

Binnie (R) 49 (+3)
Hodes (D) 37 (+1)
Und 10 (-4)

Hodes' health care vote may be one leading factor in his decline. Only 38 percent of New Hampshire voters say the health care legislation is good for the country, while 53 percent say it's bad. A strong majority, 58 percent, say they'd support a repeal effort, while 38 percent oppose.

President Obama's job rating has improved slightly, however -- 49 percent approve while 50 percent disapprove, up from a 48-52 split last month.
