DURHAM, NH – Approval of President Trump’s job performance has declined slightly among Granite Staters since his inauguration. On foreign policy, most New Hampshire residents think Trump’s plan to accept a jet from Qatar is inappropriate.
Nearly half of state residents feel the U.S. should support Ukraine more and help them retake lost territory even if it prolongs their war with Russia. On state issues, about half of residents approve of Governor Kelly Ayotte’s performance and housing remains by far the most important problem facing the state. Granite Staters support legislation aiming to ban cell phone use by students during instruction time but are divided on potential bills concerning car inspection, zoning, and law enforcement partnerships with ICE.
These findings are based on the latest Granite State Poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. One thousand, three hundred and five (1,305) Granite State Panel members completed the survey. In addition, 38 New Hampshire residents completed the survey after receiving an invitation via text message. Overall, one thousand, three hundred and forty-three (1,343) New Hampshire residents completed the survey online between May 22 and May 26, 2025. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 2.7 percent.
