Harris turns around New Hampshire.
The presidential campaign has been reset, and Harris is now the new favorite to win New Hampshire, said Neil Levesque, executive director of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College.
While 50 percent of likely New Hampshire voters picked Harris when asked who they would vote for if the election were held now, 44 percent picked Republican nominee and former president Donald J. Trump, and 3 percent picked independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., according to the Saint Anselm College Survey Center poll, which had a margin of sampling error of 2.1 percentage points.
A poll from the University of New Hampshire Survey Center also showed Harris with a 6-point lead: Harris landed at 49 percent, Trump at 43 percent, and Kennedy at 4 percent, with a margin of sampling error of 1.8 percentage points.
Both of these surveys show marked improvement for the presumptive Democratic nominee in the wake of the change at the top of the Democratic ticket. In May, the UNH poll found that Biden was only 3 points ahead of Trump. In June, the Saint Anselm poll found that Biden was 2 points behind.
