New Hampshire elections

New Hampshire

The Granite State's U.S. Senate and House races are considered tossups. Democrats are aiming to pick up the Senate seat being vacated by Republican Judd Gregg, who decided to retire after three terms. Polls show both of New Hampshire's House seats could be in play, including the one opened by Rep. Paul Hodes' entry into the Senate race. There is less suspense in the contest for governor. Democrat John Lynch is expected to win his fourth two-year term. Obama won New Hampshire in 2008.
