| Hello/Intro Gov Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. A new poll shows governor Craig Benson in a tight race for the corner office. And for the first time since becoming governor, his approval rating has dropped below 50-percent. The Granite State Poll shows 45-percent of New Hampshire adults say they approve of the job Benson has done as governor-- a more than 10-percent drop since April. 40-percent disapprove of his performance and 14-percent remain neutral. There are two Democrats hoping to win their party's nod to challenge the governor. And they are virtually unknown to voters. Still, the poll showed potential challenger John Lynch within ten points and Paul McEachern within 13. That's the general election. The poll did not measure Benson's matchup in the September 14 primary. That's the focus of our NH Votes 2004 report. Richard Ager looks at Governor Craig Benson and his Republican opponent, Charles Tarbell. |
