N.H inmates celebrate graduation
BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Inmates in the Granite State are being recognized for making the most of their time behind bars.
Last week, the New Hampshire Department of Corrections celebrated the graduation of 36 students across three of the state’s corrections facilities.
Inmates were celebrated for anything from passing high school equivalency tests to cosmetology licenses to a Master’s degree.
New Hampshire’s DOC commissioner said that the opportunity for continuing education in prisons helps prepare people for life outside of prison and reduces rates of recidivism.

President Trump announces new exemptions to tariffs
President Donald Trump announced new exemptions to tariffs signing as new executive order this week. Trump insists this will help lower grocery prices for Americans.
Fox – 4 News
Support for President Donald Trump’s handling of the economy hit an all-time low in New Hampshire, according to a new poll out of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center.
According to the poll, released Nov. 19, only 42% of New Hampshire residents approve of his handling of the economy, while 57% disapprove. That’s the lowest his approval has been in this area in either of his terms.
Both people who approve and disapprove cite tariffs as the number one reason behind their opinion.
For those who disapprove, the next top reasons, following distantly, are because of the price of goods, because they believe Trump is self-interested or has a poor character and because of the cost of living.
Of those who approve, tariffs are followed by spending or the budget, price of goods, energy prices and because they believe him to be better than his predecessors.
While New Hampshire approval of Trump’s economic policies has fallen, his support overall has remained largely the same: 45% approve and 54% disapprove, giving him a net approval rating of -8 that is statistically unchanged since October.
The poll surveyed 1,402 New Hampshire residents between Nov. 13 and Nov. 17. The margin of error is +/- 2.6%.
How do NH residents feel about the end of the government shutdown?
The government shutdown is now over after some Senate Democrats, including New Hampshire Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan, made a deal to reopen the government in exchange for a reversal of federal worker layoffs and a promise for a vote on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies.
Many national Democrats opposed the deal as it didn’t guarantee an extension of the ACA tax credits that the party had demanded for weeks. In New Hampshire, half of residents support extending the subsidies, including 93% of Democrats and 53% of Independents. It perhaps follows then that 68% of Democrats and 60% of Independents oppose the deal ending the shutdown.
However, overall, 52% of Granite Staters support the deal, including 87% of Republicans, 27% of Independents and 24% of Democrats. And there is broad agreement among New Hampshire residents (95%) that all federal workers who were furloughed or who continued working during the shutdown should receive backpay.
Should Trump sink boats off Venezuela coast?
The survey also looked at approval of Trump’s handling of foreign affairs, finding that 54% disapprove and 44% approve, making a net approval rating of -10 that is statistically unchanged since October.
Half of Granite Staters disapproved of the U.S. military sinking civilian boats off the coast of Venezuela that it claimed were involved in drug trafficking. However, it is heavily split by party, with 92% of Democrats disapproving and 83% of Republicans approving.
These actions have appeared to be part of a pressure campaign aimed at Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who Trump seems to blame for drugs and gangs on American streets. While he has not yet made a decision about what he plans to do in the country, all parties in New Hampshire oppose an attempt to remove Maduro from power.
