Gun Vote Hurts Ayotte in New Hampshire

A new Public Policy Polling survey finds Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) now has an upside down approval rating with 44% of voters giving her good marks and 46% disapproving. That’s down a net 15 points from October, when she had a 48% approval with 35% disapproving.

Key finding: 75% of New Hampshire voters support gun background checks and 50% of voters in the state say Ayotte’s vote against them will make them less likely to support her in a future election, compared to just 23% who consider it to be a positive.
