Polls open across U.S. for midterm elections
Polls in New Hampshire and throughout the country open this morning, marking the end of a contentious 2010 midterm election season. In a reflection of President Barack Obama's fall in popularity across the country, Republican candidates have strong poll numbers heading into the elections, and are expected to gain at least one of New Hampshire's two House Seats, both of which are currently held by Democrats. While incumbent Gov. John Lynch, D-N.H., seems slated to secure a unprecedented fourth term, poll numbers show that the Senate seat vacated by Republican Sen. Judd Gregg will likely be filled by another Republican.
