PRESIDENT 2024: NEW HAMPSHIRE
Among Democratic primary voters statewide
Among New Hampshire Democratic primary voters
- Pete Buttigieg: 17%
- Joe Biden: 16%
- Gavin Newsom: 10%
- Elizabeth Warren: 10%
- Amy Klobuchar: 9%
- Bernie Sanders: 8%
- Kamala Harris: 6%
- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: 5%
- Hillary Clinton: 3%
- Stacey Abrams: 3%
- Others: 8%
RON’S COMMENT: This New Hampshire primary poll is a disaster for both Biden and Harris. It’s good for Buttigieg, who tops the field, albeit by one point, and Newsom, who has yet to build strong nationwide awareness…. Yikes: 75% of Democrats in the poll say they’re concerned about Biden’s age…. In 2020, Sanders won the New Hampshire primary with 26%, Buttigieg was a close second (24%) and Klobuchar was third (20%).
SENATE 2022
Among voters statewide
OHIO
- Tim Ryan (D) over J.D. Vance (R): +6 (44-38)
RON’S COMMENT: Democrat Ryan leads Vance, Trump’s candidate in the GOP primary. The open seat is currently held by a Republican, so a Democratic win would be a blow to the Republican attempt to capture a Senate majority.

RON’S COMMENT: Fetterman holds a clear lead over Oz, Trump’s candidate in the GOP primary. The average of these polls puts the Democrat ahead by 8.7 points…. The open seat is currently held by a Republican, so a Democratic win would be a blow to the Republican attempt to win control of the Senate.
