A new poll from the University of New Hampshire (UNH) has Trump-endorsed candidate Don Bolduc 21 points ahead of Chuck Morse in New Hampshire’s Republican Senate primary.
Bolduc, a retired brigadier general and an Afghanistan veteran, claims former President Donald Trump won the election in 2020. Trump has yet to endorse Bolduc, but the former president has praised the Senate hopeful for his criticisms of Gen. Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
If the primary were held Tuesday, Bolduc would receive 43% of the primary vote, while his opponent Chuck Morse would receive only 22%, according to the UNH poll. Twenty percent of primary voters are still undecided. (RELATED: Dems Take A Victory Lap After New York Special Election, But There’s One Big Red Flag)
The poll, conducted via online between Aug. 25 and 29, surveyed 1,993 individuals with a 3.3% margin of error.

Trump-endorsed candidates have seen success in the primary season, with 92% of Trump-endorsed candidates winning their races, according to Ballotpedia.
“Donald Trump is still extremely popular. That’s important to note, but also, what those candidates are doing, whether they’re endorsed by President Trump or not, they’re embracing the America first policies that really improved the lives of all Americans, regardless of race, religion, color or creed,” former Trump spokesman Hogan Gidley told the Daily Caller News Foundation in August.
