Split Ballot - Shea-Porter Leads in Nh 1St , Bass in 2 Nd THE WMUR GRANITE STATE POLL THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE SURVEY CENTER July 29, 2010 SPLIT BALLOT - SHEA-PORTER LEADS IN NH 1ST , BASS IN 2 ND By: Andrew E. Smith, Ph.D. UNH Survey Center www.unh.edu/survey-center 603/862-2226 DURHAM, NH – After trailing for months, Carol Shea-Porter now leads in the race to keep her seat in New Hampshire’s First Congressional District. In the Second Congressional District, former Republican Congressman Charlie Bass continues to lead both Democratic candidates as he attempts to regain the seat he lost in 2006. These findings are based on the latest WMUR Granite State Poll ,∗ conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. Five hundred four (504) randomly selected New Hampshire adults were interviewed by telephone between July 19 and July 27, 2010. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 4.4 percent. Included was a subsample of 264 adults in the NH First Congressional District (margin of sampling error +/-6.0%), and a subsample of 240 Second Congressional District adults (margin of sampling error +/-6.3%). 1st Congressional District In New Hampshire’s First Congressional District, incumbent Democrat Carol Shea-Porter faces a difficult re-election fight. She continues to have low favorability ratings, and doesn’t break 50% against any of her Republican rivals, but she has improved on both of these indicators of reelection during the summer months. Currently, 41% of adults in New Hampshire’s 1st CD have a favorable opinion of her, 35% have an unfavorable opinion of her, and 24% are neutral or don’t know enough about her to say. Shea-Porter’s net favorability rating remains low at +6%, but this is up from -7% in April. Favorability Ratings – Carol Shea-Porter NH 1 st District 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% July Sep. Feb. Apr.

The 1 st CD is the more Republican of New Hampshire’s two Congressional districts and Shea-Porter has been perceived vulnerable in both her reelection fights in 2008 and in 2010. This has drawn several serious Republican challengers into the race. However, all Republican challengers are largely unknown to voters in the First District, and summer is a difficult time to boost visibility. Former Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta is still the best known Republican. Currently, 28% of 1st CD adults have a favorable opinion of Guinta, 17% have an unfavorable opinion of him, and 55% are either neutral or don’t know enough about him to say. Guinta’s net favorability rating is +11%, up from +4% in April. Favorability Ratings – Frank Guinta NH 1 st District 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Apr. '09 June '09 Oct. '09 Feb. '10 Apr.

In the most recent Granite State Poll, only 11% of 1 st CD adults say they have a favorable opinion of Ashooh, 3% have an unfavorable opinion of him, and 86% are neutral or don’t know enough about him to say. Ashooh’s net favorability rating is +8%. Favorability Ratings – Rich Ashooh NH 1 st District 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Feb. '10 Apr.

Currently, 14% have a favorable opinion of Mahoney, 9% have an unfavorable opinion, and 78% are neutral or don’t know enough about him to say. Mahoney’s net favorability rating in the 1 st CD is +5%.

Currently, only 4% of 1 st CD adults say they have a favorable opinion of Bestani, 3% have an unfavorable opinion of him, and 94% are neutral or don’t know enough about him to say. Bestani’s net favorability rating is +1%, unchanged since February. Favorability Ratings – Bob Bestani NH 1 st District 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Feb. '10 Apr. '10 July '10 Favorable Unfavorable Carol Shea-Porter, due to her improved favorability ratings and her opponents’ inability to raise their profiles during the summer, has taken small to moderate leads over her challengers in pre-election trial heats. It is important to point out that Shea-Porter does not break 50% against any of her challengers, a critical indicator of weakness for a Congressional incumbent. In a matchup between Shea-Porter and her best known challenger, Frank Guinta, 44% of likely 1 st CD voters say they will vote for Shea-Porter, 39% say they will vote for Guinta, 1% prefer some other candidate, and 16% are undecided.

At the state and national level, the Kochs use their unlimited resources to influence policy to suit their political and personal needs while hurting middle class and working families. The policies they favor include cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy; reducing and eliminating regulations to protect workers, consumers, and the environment; privatizing and cutting both Social Security and Medicare; and cutting other programs, including Pell Grants for college. For decades, the Kochs and their network of dark money political front groups have been pushing the Koch agenda in New Hampshire — perhaps more than any other state in the country — which has benefitted billionaires like the Kochs at the expense of Granite Staters. In 2016, New Hampshire will continue to be on center stage in American politics with the First In The Nation primary, a top- tier Senate race, marquee Congressional contests, an open governor’s mansion, and a number of hot button issues in the limelight. At the same time, the Koch network has promised to spend nearly $900 million to buy elections for candidates who will do their bidding for them. The Kochs themselves admit they “expect something in return” for the millions they spend propping up their candidates, but for candidates, backing from the Kochs comes with a high price tag.

  • The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network
    PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................
