Bradley not paying attention to the polls

By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com Reporter

MANCHESTER--Former U.S. Rep. Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro) said the only poll that matters is the one on Election Day.

Bradley said he learned this lesson in 2006 when polls showed him leading over current U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-Rochester).

"You know what, I was ahead two years ago and look what happened, so the only poll that matters is the one that happens on Election Day," Bradley said. "We're going as hard as we can to get out our message."
