Republican Kelly Ayotte leads Democrat Paul Hodes by 41 percent to 34 percent with 25 percent undecided for the New Hampshire senate seat that opened up with the announced retirement of GOP Sen. Judd Gregg, according to an American Research Group poll conducted Sept. 25-29. The margin of error is 4.1 points.

Both Ayotte, a former state Attorney General, and Hodes, a first-term congressman, command equal amounts of support among voters in their own parties, but Ayotte is leading among unaffiliated voters by 34 percent to 17 percent with 49 percent undecided.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
