Voters’ concerns about inflation, government spending, immigration and the cost of health care are being reflected in the latest job approval ratings of the state’s all-Democratic congressional delegation, according to a new poll by the Saint Anselm College Survey Center.The survey center said it conducted 921 online surveys of registered voters between June 9 and 11 from “cell phone users randomly drawn from a sample of registered voters reflecting the demographic and partisan characteristics of the voting population.” It said the margin of error in the poll was plus/minus 3.2 percentage points.According to the survey center, 42 percent of those polled were registered undeclared voters, 30 percent were registered Democrats and 28 percent were registered Republicans.>> READ the polling memo here.The poll found that as more people are vaccinated and are returning to their pre-pandemic lifestyles, “COVID-19 is receding as an issue of importance to voters.”Government spending and the cost of health care have replaced the pandemic as the most often-cited concerns, followed by “illegal immigration” and “foreign aggression.” Inflation was cited as a concern by 83 percent of those polled while 77 percent said they were “very” or “somewhat” worried about the national debt.President Joe Biden received high grades for his handling of COVID-19, with 39 percent calling his performance dealing with the pandemic excellent. But, according to the poll, on other issues, including race, national security, the environment, national security or foreign affairs, most voters rated his performance “fair” or “poor.”Granite Staters’ view of Biden’s job performance was split, with 49 percent approving and 49 percent disapproving. The results were divided along party lines, with 91 percent of Democrats approving and 93 percent of Republicans disapproving, while undeclared voters were almost even, with 48 percent approving and 50 percent disapproving.The poll found that when asked generically if they support congressional Democrats or Republicans, opinion was split – with 44 percent choosing Democrats and 43 percent choosing Republicans.“This represents a significant deterioration in the political environment for the Democratic Party in just a few months,” the polling memo said, noting that in the previous Saint Anselm poll in March, the Democratic lead in the generic ballot was 48 percent to 40 percent.The polling memo says the change in the generic view was reflected among voters’ ratings of the members of the state’s congressional delegation.U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan, who is running for reelection in 2022, received approval of her job performance from 43 percent of those polled, while 49 percent disapproved and 8 percent had no opinion. Among Democrats, 82 percent approved of Hassan’s job performance and 11 percent disapproved, while 37 percent of undeclared voters approved of her job performance and 52 percent disapproved. Republicans disapproved of Hassan’s job performance by a margin of 86 percent to 10 percent.In the March poll by Saint Anselm, Hassan’s Senate job performance received the approval of 47 percent of those polled, with 44 percent disapproving.The new poll showed Sen. Jeanne Shaheen’s job performance was approved by 47 percent, while 45 percent disapproved. In the March poll, Shaheen’s job performance received approval from 51 percent of those polled, while 43 percent disapproved.U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster received approval for her job performance by 44 percent of 431 registered 2nd Congressional District voters included in the polling sample, while 41 percent disapproved and 15 percent had no opinion.In the March poll, 48 percent approved and 39 percent disapproved of her job performance.U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas received approval for his job performance by 42 percent of 490 1st District voters included in the latest poll, while 39 percent disapproved and 19 percent had no opinion. In March, Pappas’ job performance was approved by 45 percent with 39 percent disapproving.The polling memo points out, however, “Election Day is a long ways away. Expect a rebound for Democratic officeholders as the importance of individual issues continues to wax and wane.”While 59 percent of those polled said the country is on the “wrong track” and 30 percent said the country is heading in the right direction, the view of the state’s future was better but not overwhelmingly positive.The poll found that 42 percent of those surveyed said the state was headed in the right direction and 37 percent said it was on the wrong track, with 21 percent unsure.Republican Gov. Chris Sununu continued to receive high grades for his job performance, however, with 68 percent approving and 30 percent disapproving. The numbers were almost identical to the March poll by Saint Anselm, in which 67 percent approved and 31 percent disapproved.In the new poll, Sununu’s performance received approval from 89 percent of his fellow Republicans for his job performance, while 10 percent disapproved; and 39 percent of Democrats approved of his job performance, while 59 percent disapproved. Among undeclared voters, 75 percent approved and 23 percent disapproved.
