Donald Trump is targeting New Hampshire, a state that a Republican hasn’t won in 24 years.
“We believe New Hampshire is a big issue,” said Steve Stepanek, a senior adviser to Trump in New Hampshire.
It is the first time in 24 years that a Republican has won the battleground state of New Hampshire in a presidential election.
We have to go all the way back to then-Texas Governor George W. Bush in 2000. Four years later, Bush was re-elected but narrowly lost the state, beginning a losing streak that continues to this day.
But following two recent polls suggesting the race in New Hampshire is within the margin of error, and an extremely tough performance in Biden’s first head-to-head primetime debate nine days ago between former President Trump and Biden, Republicans are increasingly hopeful they can end the losing streak.
“I do believe New Hampshire is a big issue,” Steve Stepanek, a senior adviser to Trump in New Hampshire, told Fox News.
Recent polls have shown Donald Trump leading Joe Biden in New Hampshire.
A poll released Monday showed former President Trump trailing President Biden by two points in New Hampshire, signaling a big gain for Trump following Biden’s lackluster performance in last week’s debate.
A Saint Anselm College poll found that 44% of New Hampshire voters would support Trump if the election were held today, while 42% said they would support Biden — a 12-point difference from a similar poll in December, when Biden had a 10-point lead in the state.
Biden underperformed in New Jersey, despite Democrats holding slight leads over Republicans in party registration and the popular vote, where 46 percent of voters favored Democrats when told only the party name, and 43 percent favored Democrats, the poll showed.
“After an incredible six months in which he swiftly vanquished his primary rivals and became the first former president to be convicted of a felony, Donald Trump has erased a 10-point deficit in the polls to lead President Joe Biden by just two points,” Neil Levesque, president of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, said in a statement.
Trump also leads Biden among key moderate voters, with 44% approving him to Biden’s 38%.
