  • Guinta Unpopular in First District, Candidates for Nh Governor and Us Congress Unknown
    THE WMUR GRANITE STATE POLL March 2, 2016 GUINTA UNPOPULAR IN FIRST DISTRICT, CANDIDATES FOR NH GOVERNOR AND US CONGRESS UNKNOWN By: Andrew E. Smith, Ph.D. Zachary S. Azem, M.A. UNH Survey Center 603/862-2226 www.unh.edu/survey-center DURHAM, NH – New Hampshire governor Maggie Hassan is running for the U.S. Senate after serving two terms. Possible candidates for governor are largely unknown to New Hampshire residents. First District Congressman Frank Guinta is very unpopular in his district and faces three unknown challengers for the Republican nomination. Second District Congresswoman Ann Kuster is only somewhat popular in her district but faces a largely unknown challenger. These findings are based on the latest WMUR Granite State Poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. Six hundred and eighty-seven (687) randomly selected New Hampshire adults were interviewed by landline and cellular telephone between February 20 and February 28, 2016. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 3.7 percent. Included were six hundred and twenty-eight (628) likely 2016 general election voters (MSE = +/- 3.9%). Three hundred and fifty-eight (358) residents were from the First Congressional District (MSE = +/- 5.2%) and three hundred and twenty-nine (329) were from the Second District (MSE = +/- 5.4%). Favorability Ratings – Potential Republican NH Governor Candidates Governor Maggie Hassan has decided to run for the U.S. Senate rather than run for re-election and leaves the race for the next governor of New Hampshire wide open. The potential candidates to replace Hassan are all relatively unknown among New Hampshire residents.

  • The Queen City's Collective and Compassionate Approach
    0024TC The Queen City’s Collective and Compassionate Approach Fighting Opioids and Homelessness in the Granite State BRADY ROBERTS, ELIZABETH PATTON, MONICA GIANNONE, BRIAN MANDELL, JORRIT DE JONG, AND GUHAN SUBRAMANIAN “Overdose deaths in Manchester up 13% year-to-date.”1 This August 2019 headline in the New Hampshire Union Leader stung Mayor Joyce Craig, who, in the second year of her term, was still confronting a worsening opioid crisis. A 2018 study found that Manchester, despite representing only 8 percent of the state’s population, accounted for 25 percent of the deaths from opioid overdoses.2 When President Trump declared the opioid epidemic a public health emergency in October 2017, New Hampshire had the second-highest rate of opioid overdose deaths in the country.3 Lisa Marsch of Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine blamed this on “the types of drugs that permeate the state, geography, and limited addiction resources outside major urban centers.”4 The Queen City’s chronic homelessness problem was also getting worse: one report cited that 1,500 individuals in Manchester were homeless and noted the rising cost of housing as a factor.5,6 It also found that the City’s size and available support services actually contributed to the issue, making it attractive to people in need of services from neighboring communities, which in turn engendered further ill will towards the homeless. Craig knew she needed to enact changes to tackle these worsening crises. However, she lacked the resources and authority required to attempt unilateral solutions. New models of engagement and collaboration were necessary for her to make progress on these separate issues.

  • Northeastwoodland-Letter-To-Fiscal.Pdf
    July 9, 2020 Joint Fiscal Committee NH State Legislature Dear Honorable Members of the Fiscal Committee, As you prepare to again consider acceptance of the Federal Charter School Startup Grant funds tomorrow, I wanted to provide an update on where Northeast Woodland Chartered Public School currently stands. When the federal startup funds were originally on the agenda for acceptance, Northeast Woodland had not yet officially received its charter from the Board of Education. Our charter was officially granted in March of this year and we are preparing to open in September of this year. We need your help to ensure that happens. About Northeast Woodland: We are the first chartered public school to successfully complete the updated, more- rigorous charter school application process and were commended by the Board of Education for our model application. With almost two months remaining before opening day, we have already received 120 completed student applications for enrollment from early childhood through seventh grade (our year one cap is 143, including early childhood). We have hired a Harvard educated, nationally recognized educator with both Waldorf and traditional public school experience as Head of School. She has packed up her family and relocated to New Hampshire specifically for this opportunity and is in the process of purchasing a home in Madison. In addition to our Head of School, we have hired an excellent faculty of educators, some of whom have also relocated their families to New Hampshire specifically for the opportunity to teach at Northeast Woodland. All told, Northeast Woodland is creating at least 18 new, high-quality jobs providing competitive pay and full health insurance benefits to teachers in a part of the state heavily impacted by COVID-19’s effect on the tourism economy.

  • PPP’S First New Hampshire Poll Since the 2012 Election
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 23, 2013 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Hassan riding high in New Hampshire, safe for 2014 re-election Raleigh, N.C. – Maggie Hassan’s high job approval rating and significant double-digit leads over five possible Republican challengers indicate that the incumbent Democratic governor will start out ahead for re-election in 2014 if she decides to run, according to PPP’s first New Hampshire poll since the 2012 election. Hassan has a +19 job approval rating with 50% of voters approving and 31% disapproving of her performance. Democrats (80/8) and independents (47/29) approve of Hassan, who also nabs 18% support from Republicans. She has 14 to 20 point leads over five possible GOP opponents. She leads Jeb Bradley 52/38, Chris Sununu 53/37, Ted Gastas 51/35, Frank Guinta 54/36 and Kevin Smith 52/32. None of these potential candidates have a positive favorability rating with New Hampshire voters. Kelly Ayotte’s job approval rating is slightly underwater with 44% approving and 46% disapproving of her performance, a big drop since before the 2012 election. In a hypothetical 2016 Senate match-up, Hassan would lead Ayotte by 2 points, 46% to 44%. 75% of New Hampshire voters support requiring background checks for gun purchases at gun shows, while just 21% are opposed. 50% of voters said Ayotte’s vote against background checks legislation would make them less likely to support her for re-election, including 79% of Democrats, 50% of independents and 17% of Republicans.
