DURHAM, N.H. --John Lynch's popularity as governor continues to rise, making him the most popular elected official in New Hampshire.
The latest Granite State Poll, released Wednesday, shows 71 percent of those surveyed saying they approve of the Democrat's performance, 10 points higher since a similar poll in July.
"New Hampshire believes Lynch has done an excellent job in his first year as governor," said Andrew Smith, director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, noting that ex-Gov. Craig Benson, a Republican, at a similar point in his administration had a 58 percent approval rating.
The telephone poll of 511 randomly selected adults interviewed between Oct. 25 and Oct. 30, has a margin of error of 4.4 percentage points.
Smith said Lynch "has avoided the controversies that hurt the Benson administration and his disaster relief after the recent floods has even improved his image."
Only 9 percent said they disapprove of Lynch's performance, while 20 percent said they were neutral. |
