Bob Trouble
In North Carolina Bob Dole could spell trouble. In New Hampshire, Bob Smith is in trouble.
(Page 2 of 2)
Bob Smith is crowing about a recent Granite State Poll that showed he'd cut into the lead of Republican challenger Rep. John Sununu in their primary race, the Republican National Committee and the White House remain certain that Sununu will hold his double-digit lead over Smith and prevail in the August primary election. "We're not worried about the poll," said an RNC pollster. "Smith isn't going anywhere but home, or maybe into a nice diplomatic post if the president is in a good mood." /p>Part of the reason for everyone's nonplused reaction is that Sununu continues to hold a 10-percent lead in head to head polling with likely Democratic challenger, Gov. Jeanne Shaheen. Moreover, the Granite State Poll that Smith now loves to point to has a margin of error of more than four percent. "Smith knows better than to trust the polls too much," says the RNC staffer. "He should just focus on the race and keep his head down."
