2 A Survey of Registered New Hampshire Voters | June 28-29, 2024


Survey Notes
These results are from a Saint Anselm College Survey Center poll based on online surveys of
1746 New Hampshire registered voters. Surveys were collected between June 28th and 29th,
2024, from cell phone users randomly drawn from a sample of registered voters reflecting the
demographic and partisan characteristics of the voting population. Names were presented in
random order for the favorability and ballot questions. The survey has an overall margin of
sampling error of +/- 2.3% with a confidence interval of 95%. The data are weighted for age,
gender, geography, and education based on a voter demographic model derived from historical
voting patterns, but are not weighted by party registration or party identification.

6 A Survey of Registered New Hampshire Voters | June 28-29, 2024


Summary
New Hampshire Institute of Politics Executive Director Neil Levesque summarized the results, saying,
“After a remarkable six months that saw him swiftly dispatch his primary rivals and become the first
former President to be convicted of a felony, Donald Trump has erased a ten-point polling deficit and
now leads President Joe Biden by a narrow 2-point margin. However, with 17 percent of voters
having an unfavorable opinion of both candidates, this race is likely to remain volatile all the way to
the finish.”

Both candidates are extremely unpopular, but former President Donald Trump is marginally more
popular than his successor, President Joe Biden. Biden carries a favorable opinion among 39% of
respondents against 59% unfavorable, while Trump is viewed favorably by 42% and unfavorably by 57%.

Trump’s marginal popularity edge translates into a slight ballot lead. If the election were held today,
respondents would support Trump over Biden, 44%-42%.

Biden underperforms Democratic registration strength and a Democratic generic ballot advantage.
Biden trails by 2 points on the ballot despite the Democratic Party carrying a narrow edge on registration
over Republicans (32%-31%), party identification (47%-46%), and on the generic ballot (46%-43%).

Biden does lead among voters that dislike both candidates. 30% of respondents who have an
unfavorable opinion of both currently support Biden versus 13% that support Trump.

However, more Democratic than Republican voters are bleeding off to independent candidates. 89%
of Republicans have consolidated behind Trump, while Biden garners only 82% of Democrats.

Biden will need to firm up very liberal voters to win. He is currently getting only 67% of this ideological
cohort, while 15% report that they are unsure for whom they will vote.

Trump leads among the key middle. Trump enjoys the support of moderates (44%-38%), undeclared
voters (40%-38%), and swing voters (39%-21%).

Trump punches above Republican strength in the Second Congressional District, which may portend
a competitive race for the open House seat. The former President leads in the First Congressional
District, 44%-42%, which is in line with the Republican Party’s registration edge in that district. However, he
also leads in the more rural Second, 43%-41%, despite a 4-point party registration deficit.

About SACSC

The Saint Anselm College Survey Center (SACSC) was founded in the wake of the 2016
election, and launched its first poll in February 2018 as the midterm elections were getting
underway. Housed within the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College, the
Center conducts quarterly polls of New Hampshire voter attitudes and additional polls as
circumstances warrant. This research supports the academic mission of the College, and
provides students with a practical education in survey techniques while providing the public
at large with insight into political opinion trends that impact the state’s federal and
gubernatorial elections. To support its operations, the Center performs commissioned
research on behalf of nonprofit organizations and corporations.
