Baier: Sources say

Baier: Sources say…

Two sources with “intimate knowledge” of the F B I’s investigations into Hillary Clinton’s emails and Clinton Foundation leaked new information about both of the probes to Fox News on  Wednesday. The sources say that the latter investigation has been going on for more than a year and is being led by the white-collar crime division of the F B I.  They also say that the Clinton Foundation “pay to play” probe has taken a “very high priority,” and the FBI has re-interviewed multiple individuals involved in the case.  The sources told Bret Baier of Special Report on Fox News that their investigation will likely to lead to an indictment.

Baier also reported that according to Fox News’ sources, Clinton’s private email server had been breached by at least five foreign intelligence hackers.  FBI Director James Comey said in July that he could not say definitively whether her server had been breached.

Trump: Polling gap gone

Trump: Polling gap gone

That news comes as a poll released last night shows that Clinton’s once double digit lead over Donald Trump in the state has evaporated.  According to the U Mass Lowell/ 7 News poll, Clinton and Trump are in a dead heat at 44 percent among likely voters.  Libertarian Gary Johnson is at 5 percent among likely voters and Green Party candidate Jill Stein is at 2 percent, with 4 percent of likely voters still undecided.

The independent, nonpartisan poll by the U Mass Lowell Center for Public Opinion surveyed 901  registered voters and 695 likely voters via live land-line and cell phone interviews between Oct. 28 and Nov. 2.

As reported in the poll, quote:

Polling shows tight races

Polling shows tight races

The FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s emails appears to have affected New Hampshire voters. While Democrats are unmoved and Clinton’s standing remained steady from three weeks ago to today, the scandal appears to have sent Republicans home to the Republican candidate.  Libertarian Gary Johnson, who was polling at 9 percent in early October, now sits at just 5 percent and Donald Trump is the major beneficiary of that drop.

The poll also asked likely New Hampshire voters how they will vote in the races for U. S. Senate and governor.

Sununu: Pulls ahead

Sununu: Pulls ahead

The senate race remains too close to call with incumbent Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte behind Democratic Governor Margaret Wood Hassan by just one point, 46 percent to 47 percent.  Libertarian Brian Chabot is at 4 percent and only 3 percent of likely voters said they are undecided.  While the presidential campaign might affect the outcome of this race, the poll shows Trump has gained support while Ayotte has not.

In the governor’s race, Republican Chris Sununu is up 4 points over Democrat Colin Van Ostern, 47 to 43 percent.  Libertarian Max Abramson has 5 percent.  Sununu is winning among independents, 38 to 34 percent.
