Lynch enjoys 73% approval rating

By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com Reporter

Governor John Lynch (D-Hopkinton) continues to enjoy a high approval rating from New Hampshire residents.

According to The Granite State Poll, conducted by The University of New Hampshire, seventy-three percent of adults favor the job Lynch has done so far. Only twelve percent disapprove of Lynch's performance.

"Approval ratings this high, almost where they were in fall of 2006 when Lynch was reelected by a record margin, will make it very difficult for a Republican to defeat him this November," said Andrew Smith, Director of the UNH Survey Center.
