UNH Poll: Harris Lead Over Trump Narrows in NH; Ayotte Has Small Lead Over Craig
HARRIS’ LEAD OVER TRUMP NARROWS IN NH; LIKELY VOTERS SPLIT ON EXPECTED WINNER NATIONALLY
DURHAM, NH – Vice President Kamala Harris continues to hold a lead over former President Donald Trump in New Hampshire as the campaign comes to an end, but her advantage has shrunk since September. Voters are evenly split when asked which candidate they expect to become president, a change since September when a plurality expected Harris to win. Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, are more popular among likely New Hampshire voters than Trump and his running mate, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance. There is widespread anxiety in the state about political violence, as more than four in five likely voters express concerns about violent election interference, attacks on political figures, and political leaders trying to seize power.

AYOTTE HOLDS SMALL LEAD OVER CRAIG IN NH GOVERNOR RACE; PAPPAS & GOODLANDER LEAD RACES FOR CONGRESS
DURHAM, NH – Republican Kelly Ayotte holds a slight lead over Democrat Joyce Craig in the race for governor of New Hampshire. Ayotte has consolidated support within her party and holds a twenty percentage point lead among Independents. In New Hampshire’s Second Congressional District, Democrat Maggie Goodlander leads Republican Lily Tang Williams in the race to succeed outgoing Representative Ann Kuster, while Democratic incumbent Chris Pappas leads Republican Russell Prescott in his bid for a fourth term. Likely voters have only modest familiarity with a proposed constitutional amendment on the ballot raising the required judicial retirement age in the state and more than one-third remain unsure how they will vote on it.

Elijah Allman’s arrest on March 1 was his second in New Hampshire in a matter of days.
A court hearing for Cher’s son Wednesday over allegations he broke into a New Hampshire home this month has been canceled.
Elijah Allman’s arrest on March 1 was his second in New Hampshire in a matter of days. Allman, the 49-year-old son of the iconic singer and actress, was also detained Feb. 27, accused of acting belligerently at a prestigious prep school in Concord.
It is unclear if Allman, of Malibu, California, has any connection to the home in Windham, New Hampshire. He is being held in the Rockingham County Department of Corrections, Superintendent Jonathan Banville said.
The hearing Wednesday was continued until an undetermined date after Allman got an attorney Wednesday morning. The attorney, Sarah Landres, did not respond to a request for comment.
Allman, whose father was the late singer Gregg Allman, is charged with two counts of criminal mischief, one count of burglary and a count of breach of bail for breaking into the home on March 1. Police said in a report that Allman did not have permission to be at the home and forcibly entered it.
Officials at St. Paul’s School said Allman last month identified himself as the parent of a prospective student and slipped into the dining hall as some students were leaving the building. Police responded to reports that he was disturbing people in the building.
He was charged with four misdemeanors in the school incident: two counts of simple assault, criminal trespass and criminal threatening. Allman was also charged with a violation of disorderly conduct, which is illegal in the state but not considered a crime. He was released on bail.
Allman did not respond to an email requesting comment, and a phone number for him was not working.
In December 2023, Cher filed a petition to become a temporary conservator overseeing her son’s money, saying Allman’s struggles with his mental health and addiction have left him unable to manage his assets and potentially put his life in danger.
The petition says the superstar performer’s son is entitled to regular payments from a trust fund. But “given his ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues,” she is “concerned that any funds distributed to Elijah will be immediately spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself and putting Elijah’s life at risk,” the petition says.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jessica Uzcategui denied the request, saying she was not convinced that a conservatorship was urgently needed. Allman was in the courtroom with his attorneys, who acknowledged his previous struggles but argued that he was in a good place, was attending meetings, getting treatment and reconciling with his estranged wife.
The son of Cher is scheduled to be in court Wednesday for a hearing over allegations he broke into a New Hampshire home earlier this month.
It was the second arrest in a matter of days for Elijah Allman, 49, of Malibu, California, who was detained Feb. 27 after allegedly acting belligerently at a prestigious prep school in New Hampshire. It was unclear if Allman had any connection to either St. Paul’s School or the home in Windham, New Hampshire.
Allman remains in the Rockingham County Department of Corrections in what is called preventive detention, Superintendent Jonathan Banville said.

In the incident at the prep school, Allman was charged with four misdemeanors: two counts of simple assault, criminal trespass and criminal threatening. Allman was also charged with a violation of disorderly conduct, which is illegal in the state but not considered a crime.
At about 7 p.m. that day, Concord police responded to reports that Allman was disturbing people in the dining hall of St. Paul’s School. After charging Allman, police said he was released on bail as his case works through the court system.
Allman did not respond to an email requesting comment, and a phone number for him was not working. It was unclear from the court records if Allman has an attorney.
