New Hampshire Senate contest reclassified as toss-up by Cook Political Report

The Cook Political Report has upgraded the New Hampshire Senate race to a toss-up, reflecting stronger polling for Republican John Sununu against Democrat Chris Pappas.

Election forecaster Cook Political Report shifted its rating for the New Hampshire Senate contest from "leans Democrat" to "toss-up." The change follows recent polling that shows former Senator John Sununu gaining ground on incumbent Representative Chris Pappas. This marks the second major forecaster to move the race toward the Republicans, after Inside Elections made a similar adjustment earlier in September. The updated outlook suggests a tighter competition as the November election approaches.

Why it matters

The revised rating signals a potentially tighter Senate race, affecting party control and campaign strategies in New Hampshire.
