TRUMP LEADS in EARLY 2024 NH GOP NOMINATION RACE but OVERALL REMAINS UNPOPULAR in NH By: Sean P July 21, 2021 TRUMP LEADS IN EARLY 2024 NH GOP NOMINATION RACE BUT OVERALL REMAINS UNPOPULAR IN NH By: Sean P. McKinley, M.A. [email protected] Zachary S. Azem, M.A. 603-862-2226 Andrew E. Smith, Ph.D. cola.unh.edu/unh-survey-center DURHAM, NH - Nearly half of likely 2024 Republican primary voters in New Hampshire currently support former President Donald Trump for the 2024 presiden al nomina on and a majority say Trump was one of the best presidents in history. However, Trump's favorability among Granite Staters overall has fallen and most don't want him to run again. Florida Governor Ron DeSan s has the second highest support for 2024. These findings are based on the latest Granite State Poll*, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. One thousand seven hundred and ninety-four (1,794) Granite State Panel members completed the survey online between July 15 and July 19, 2021. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 2.3 percent. Included in the sample were 770 likely 2024 Republican Primary voters (margin of sampling error +/- 3.5 percent). Data were weighted by respondent sex, age, educa on, and region of the state to targets from the most recent American Community Survey (ACS) conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, as well as party registra on levels provided by the NH Secretary of State and 2020 elec on results in NH. Granite State Panel members are recruited from randomly-selected landline and cell phone numbers across New Hampshire and surveys are sent periodically to panel members. 2024 New Hampshire Republican Presiden al Primary Since the 2020 elec on, Republicans have been posi oning themselves for the GOP nomina on in 2024. The New Hampshire Primary has historically been one of the most important events in determining who the next nominee will be. When asked an open-ended ques on about whom they will vote for in the 2024 primary, former President Donald Trump is named by nearly half (49%) of likely Republican voters, followed by Florida Governor Ron DeSan s (18%), Kentucky Senator Rand Paul (5%), former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley (3%), former Vice President Mike Pence (1%), Massachuse s Governor Charlie Baker (1%), Utah Senator Mi Romney (1%), Ohio Representa ve Jim Jordan (1%), and Wyoming Representa ve Liz Cheney (1%). Fi een percent of likely Republican primary voters could not name a candidate. “While Trump is currently the first choice of New Hampshire Republicans, it is important to remember that this is based largely on name recogni on” said Andrew Smith, Director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. “Past party nominees are almost always the early front runner in nomina on contests, but as other candidates begin to actually campaign, support for the candidate who lost the last elec on drops.” Preferred Candidate - Republican 2024 Presiden al Nomina on - Open-Ended - July 2021 Colin Powell Vermin Supreme Jon Huntsman Joe Biden Liz Cheney Brian Kemp Ben Sasse Admiral William McRaven Geoff Duncan Dan Crenshaw Anyone but Donald Trump Jim JordanJohn Kasich Condoleeza Rice Don't know Tom Cotton Justin Amash Mitt Romney Adam Kinzinger Mike Pence Chris Sununu Marco Rubio Kamala Harris Rand Paul Tim Scott Donald Trump Ted Cruz Ron Paul Charlie Baker Josh Hawley Kristi Noem Ted Nugent John McCain Nikki Haley Amy Klobuchar Mike Pompeo Depends Ron DeSantis * We ask that this copyrighted informa on be referred to as the Granite State Poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center.

Three percent would support another candidate, 2% say they don't have a second choice, and 18% don't know or are unsure. Among those who say their first choice would be Trump, half (50%) say their second choice would be DeSan s, while 11% say their second choice is Pence and 8% say their second choice is Cruz.

Only 24% of Granite Staters say that he was one of the best presidents in American history and 15% say he was above average, while 6% say he was average.

  • The American Dream Is Not Dead: (But Populism Could Kill
    The American Dream Is Not Dead (But Populism Could Kill It) Michael R. Strain Arthur F. Burns Scholar in Political Economy Director of Economic Policy Studies American Enterprise Institute What do we mean by “the American Dream?” • The freedom to choose how to live your own life. • To have a “good life,” including a good family, meaningful work, a strong community, and a comfortable retirement. • To own a home. What do we mean by “the American Dream?” • A key part of the dream is based on economic success and upward mobility (loosely defined). 1. Are my kids going to be better off than I am? 2. Am I doing better this year than last year? 3. Can a poor kid grow up to become a billionaire or president? The national conversation assumes that American Dream is dead “Sadly, the American dream is dead.” — Donald Trump, June 2015 “There was once a path to a stable and prosperous life in America that has since closed off. It was a well-traveled path for many Americans: Graduate from high school and get a job, typically with a local manufacturer or one of the service industries associated with it, and earn enough to support a family. The idea was not only that it was possible to achieve this kind of success, but that anyone could achieve it—the American dream. That dream defines my family’s history, and its disappearance calls me to action today.” — Marco Rubio, December 2018 The national conversation assumes that American Dream is dead “Across generations, Americans shared the belief that hard work would bring opportunity and a better life.

  • VP MIKE PENCE at the GOP Convention Site in Charlotte, NC
    Aug 24, 2020 View in browser B Y JAKE SHERMAN , ANNA PALMER , GARRETT ROSS A N D E L I O K U N Presented by THE MESSAGE? … VP MIKE PENCE at the GOP convention site in Charlotte, N.C.: “We’re going to make America great again -- again.” Republicans officially nominated President DONALD TRUMP and PENCE for a second term today. THE PRESIDENT visited the site early this afternoon. “Think about your life just prior to the plague," he told the crowd. This week’s schedule and speakers THIS MORNING WAS YET ANOTHER PIECE OF EVIDENCE for the legion of political observers who believe some high-profile congressional hearings turn out to be a waste of time. MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE spent the morning lecturing Postmaster General LOUIS DEJOY about the USPS -- oftentimes without asking a single question. When they asked questions, they sometimes sounded like this: Do you believe you need to follow the law? Is your backup plan to be pardoned like Roger Stone, Rep. JIM COOPER (D-Tenn.) asked? Why are the Democrats out to get you, Rep. JIM JORDAN (R-Ohio) queried? Why doesn’t this hearing about the USPS include debate about the PPP -- it’s a “waste of time,” Rep. CHIP ROY (R-Texas) said. In addition, the hearing was riddled with technical difficulties. REP. STEPHEN LYNCH (D-Mass.) asked if DEJOY would replace removed sorting machines -- DEJOY said no, but they couldn’t get around to figuring out why, because LYNCH had used up all of his time. MEANWHILE, millions of Americans are wondering if their prescription drugs are going to get delivered, if their mail-in votes will actually be counted and what elected officials are actually doing to make their lives better in the middle of a pandemic and economic recession.

  • Mcconnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117Th Congress
    For Immediate Release, Wednesday, February 3, 2021 Contacts: David Popp, Doug Andres Robert Steurer, Stephanie Penn McConnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress Praises Senators Crapo and Tim Scott for their work on the Committee on Committees WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following the 50-50 power-sharing agreement finalized earlier today, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced the Senate Republican Conference Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress. Leader McConnell once again selected Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) to chair the Senate Republicans’ Committee on Committees, the panel responsible for committee assignments for the 117th Congress. This is the ninth consecutive Congress in which Senate leadership has asked Crapo to lead this important task among Senate Republicans. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) assisted in the committee selection process as he did in the previous three Congresses. “I want to thank Mike and Tim for their work. They have both earned the trust of our colleagues in the Republican Conference by effectively leading these important negotiations in years past and this year was no different. Their trust and experience was especially important as we enter a power-sharing agreement with Democrats and prepare for equal representation on committees,” McConnell said. “I am very grateful for their work.” “I appreciate Leader McConnell’s continued trust in having me lead the important work of the Committee on Committees,” said Senator Crapo. “Americans elected an evenly-split Senate, and working together to achieve policy solutions will be critical in continuing to advance meaningful legislation impacting all Americans. Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit our nation, our economy was the strongest it has ever been.

    Senate Committee Musical Chairs August 15, 2018 Key Retiring Committee Seniority over Sitting Chair/Ranking Member Viewed as Seat Republicans Will Most Likely Retain Viewed as Potentially At Risk Republican Seat Viewed as Republican Seat at Risk Viewed as Seat Democrats Will Most Likely Retain Viewed as Potentially At Risk Democratic Seat Viewed as Democratic Seat at Risk Notes • The Senate Republican leader is not term-limited; Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will likely remain majority leader. The only member of Senate GOP leadership who is currently term-limited is Republican Whip John Cornyn (R-TX). • Republicans have term limits of six years as chairman and six years as ranking member. Republican members can only use seniority to bump sitting chairs/ranking members when the control of the Senate switches parties. • Committee leadership for the Senate Aging; Agriculture; Appropriations; Banking; Environment and Public Works (EPW); Health Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP); Indian Affairs; Intelligence; Rules; and Veterans Affairs Committees are unlikely to change. Notes • Current Armed Services Committee (SASC) Chairman John McCain (R-AZ) continues to receive treatment for brain cancer in Arizona. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) has served as acting chairman and is likely to continue to do so in Senator McCain’s absence. If Republicans lose control of the Senate, Senator McCain would lose his top spot on the committee because he already has six years as ranking member. • In the unlikely scenario that Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) does not take over the Finance Committee, Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID), who currently serves as Chairman of the Banking Committee, could take over the Finance Committee.
