New Hampshire has become a reliably blue state in recent decades, having not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 2000.

Yet in what would be a humiliating development, a recent poll suggests that Vice President Kamala Harris could be in danger of losing the Granite State. 

Survey has Harris trailing Trump by nearly half a point

According to Newsweek, the New Hampshire Journal/Praecones Analytica survey was carried out between October 24 and 26.

It showed former President Donald Trump getting 50.2% of the vote compared with 49.8% for Harris. That fact was touted by Karoline Leavitt, who serves as the Trump campaign's national press secretary.

"There's a reason Kamala Harris has been spending money in New Hampshire. She's on defense and knows President Trump is on the path to victory," Leavitt was quoted as saying in a statement on Wednesday.

"To my fellow Granite Staters who want to keep our beautiful state safe, business friendly, and free — get out and vote for President Trump," she continued.

Meanwhile, Newsweek stressed that a recent Emerson College poll gave the vice president a three-point advantage over her Republican challenger in New Hampshire.

What's more, Fox News reported that Trump ultimately lost in the Granite State to President Joe Biden by 7.4% four years ago.
