NEW FRANKLIN PIERCE POLL OF NH

Here is the new Franklin Pierce New Hampshire poll. They say the sample actually over-represents Republicans, but the results seem to contradict that. It has Governor Craig Benson and Democrat John Lynch in a tie at 45%, while Kerry leads Bush 50.1% to 41.3%. When I worked for former US Senator Gordon Humphrey when he ran for Governor in 2000 I remember that Franklin Pierce polls significantly overstated Governor Shaheen's lead, as compared to the final result (Shaheen won by just under 4%, as I recall). Take it for what it's worth.
