The latest WMUR/Granite State poll from the University of New Hampshire (462 LVs, 4/18-28, MoE +/- 4.6%) finds that the weak economy and contentious political environment has taken a toll on Gov. John Lynch (D). But other Democratic incumbents would gladly trade positions with Lynch, as his weakened numbers are still among the highest in the nation and he still leads a potential GOP opponent.

General Election Matchup
Lynch (D) 49 (-1 vs. last poll, 1/27-2/3)
Stephen (R) 32 (+2)
Und 18 (-1)

Fifty-six percent of New Hampshire voters now approve of Lynch's job performance, his lowest mark since just after he took office in 2005. Twenty-nine percent disapprove, his worst-ever showing. Lynch is seeking an unprecedented fourth two-year term as governor this November.

RCP classifies the race as Likely Democratic.
