The vast majority of New Hampshire residents view the Republican Party as divided, while a smaller majority see the Democratic Party as divided. Slightly more Granite Staters say the Democratic Party represents their values well, while members of both parties are divided on whether they would like their party officials to be more moderate or more ideologically-driven. Residents have disparate opinions on the most important problem facing the country and most frequently mention political matters such as the President, partisanship, and division.

Granite Staters More Concerned About Voter Fraud In U.S. Than In Nh 11/16/17, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

A small majority of New Hampshire residents believe voter fraud is a serious problem in the country as a whole, but far fewer believe it is a serious problem in New Hampshire. While few think voter fraud is very significant and affects the outcomes of elections, a plurality think it is somewhat significant and could potentially affect election outcomes. The majority of Granite Staters support New Hampshire's new electoral law requiring documentation for those who register close to an election.

Granite Staters Oppose Wall, Favor Path To Citizenship And Border Patrol Checkpoints 11/16/17, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Granite Staters are decidedly in favor of the Border Patrol conducting checkpoints in New Hampshire but are opposed to the construction of a large-scale physical barrier on the Mexican border and favor a path for "Dreamers" and other illegal immigrants currently in the country to gain legal citizenship. Residents are clearly divided by party on how serious of an issue illegal immigration is and which policies they would like to address it.

Democrats Seek To Expand Health Care Laws, Republicans Prefer Aca Repeal 11/15/17, Unh Survey Center Nov 2017

Democrats Seek To Expand Health Care Laws, Republicans Prefer Aca Repeal 11/15/17, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Just under half of New Hampshire residents were happy Congress failed to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, while only a third describe themselves as unhappy. Those who are unhappy blame Democrats and moderate congressional Republicans. Respondents are divided on what they would like to see happen with the ACA in the future, but support for expanding the law has increased since 2013. Residents are divided on the idea of a single-payer system, with Democrats strongly and Independents slightly in favor and Republicans strongly opposed.


Mixed Views On Tax Reform Provisions Among Nh Residents 11/14/17, Unh Survey Center Nov 2017

Mixed Views On Tax Reform Provisions Among Nh Residents 11/14/17, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Granite Staters favor increasing the child tax credit and creating a new elder/sick care credit and a plurality favor reducing the number of federal tax brackets. Residents are divided on eliminating the federal estate tax and are somewhat opposed to lowering the top corporate tax rate and lowering the "pass-through" corporate tax rate. Residents are closely divided on this package of reforms as a whole. As expected, Democrats oppose most of these changes and Republicans favor them. Increasing the child tax credit and creating an elder/sick care credit enjoys bipartisan support.

Competing Accounts Of Interpretation And Practical Reasoning In The Debate Over Originalism, André Leduc Nov 2017

Competing Accounts Of Interpretation And Practical Reasoning In The Debate Over Originalism, André Leduc

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

This article explores two assumptions about constitutional law and the form of practical reasoning inherent in constitutional argument and decision that have shaped the debate over originalism. The first assumption—adopted by originalists—is that constitutional reasoning is a formalistic process. Originalism’s critics tacitly describe a very different and less formalistic model. The second assumption—shared by originalists and most of its critics alike—is that the central task of constitutional decision is to interpret the Constitution. Both of these assumptions are wrong. Constitutional argument is not, and cannot be, reduced to the formal model of reasoning tacitly employed in originalism. The critics of …


Objective And Subjective Tests In The Law, R. George Wright Nov 2017

Objective And Subjective Tests In The Law, R. George Wright

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

Across many subject areas, the law commonly attempts to distinguish between objective and subjective tests, and to assess the merits of objective as opposed to subjective legal tests. This Article argues that all such efforts are fundamentally incoherent and ultimately futile in practice. As demonstrated below, what the law takes to be objective in the relevant sense is essentially constituted by what the law takes to be subjective, and vice versa. Judicial preoccupation with objective and subjective tests thus does no more than distract from more meaningful concerns. Judicial attention should be directed away from this hopeless distinction, and instead …

Sanders, Biden & Warren Early Democratic Frontrunners; Trump Not Consensus Choice In Gop Primary 10/18/17, Unh Survey Center Oct 2017

Sanders, Biden & Warren Early Democratic Frontrunners; Trump Not Consensus Choice In Gop Primary 10/18/17, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

While nearly all likely Democratic primary voters are still trying to make up their minds in the 2020 New Hampshire Presidential Primary, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, and Elizabeth Warren are the early frontrunners. More than three-quarters of Republicans are still trying to decide whom to support, and just under half say they currently plan on voting for Donald Trump, considerably lower than the proportion of Democrats who planned on voting for Barack Obama in October 2009. Interest in the 2020 primary is quite high and greater than at this point in the last two electoral cycles.
