根据周二发布的最新民调结果，新罕布什尔州众议员、民主党人克里斯·帕帕斯在该州即将举行的联邦参议院选举中领先于共和党候选人约翰·E·苏努努。
New Hampshire Rep. Chris Pappas (D) is leading in the state’s open U.S. Senate race against Republican nominee John E. Sununu, according to new polling released Tuesday.
这项由美国退休人员协会委托、新罕布什尔州政治研究所开展的调查显示，在该州可能参与投票的选民中，帕帕斯比其共和党对手领先7个百分点。
The New Hampshire Institute of Politics (NHIP) survey, commissioned by AARP, found the Democrat holds a 7-point advantage over his Republican opponent among likely voters in the state.
此次民调还额外对50岁及以上的选民进行了抽样调查，结果显示在这一年龄群体中，帕帕斯的领先优势缩小至仅1个百分点。
The poll, which included an oversample of people aged 50 years or older, showed Pappas had a slimmer, one-point advantage among this voting demographic.
美国退休人员协会新罕布什尔州分部主任克里斯蒂娜·菲茨帕特里克强调了争取老年选民支持的重要性，她指出：“候选人必须回应他们的关切。”菲茨帕特里克在一份声明中说道：“今年，经济负担能力是新罕布什尔州居民最关心的问题，候选人应当向选民说明他们将如何保护并完善社会保障体系，确保所有人都能有尊严且有意义地安度晚年。”
AARP’s New Hampshire state director, Christina FitzPatrick, emphasized the importance of gaining the support of older voters in this race, saying the “candidates must address their priorities.”“With affordability a top concern for New Hampshire residents this year, candidates should tell voters how they will protect and strengthen Social Security and ensure that everyone is able to age with dignity and purpose,” FitzPatrick said in a statement.
此次选举旨在选出接替即将退休的民主党籍参议员珍妮·沙欣的新任参议员。自2019年起，帕帕斯便担任新罕布什尔州众议员，自2023年起还加入了“问题解决者核心小组”。
The candidates are competing in the November race for the open seat to replace retiring Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.). Pappas has represented the Granite State in the House since 2019, and he has been part of the Problem Solvers Caucus since 2023.
苏努努曾在国会两院任职十余年，直至2008年在参议院选举中败给沙欣。他是新罕布什尔州前州长约翰·H·苏努努与克里斯·苏努努的亲属。
Sununu served in both chambers of Congress for over a decade before he lost his Senate seat to Shaheen in 2008. He is related to former New Hampshire Govs. John H. Sununu and Chris Sununu.
上个月，两位候选人均轻松赢得初选，成功晋级11月的正式选举。无党派选举预测机构“库克政治报告”在9月后，也将该选区的评级从“民主党略占优势”调整为“胜负难料”。
Both candidates handily won their primary races last month to advance to the November election. The Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan election forecaster, shifted its rating in this race from “lean D” to a “toss up” following the September election.
过去十余年间，新罕布什尔州始终未选出共和党籍联邦参议员，不过自2017年起该州州长职位一直由共和党人掌控。
The state has not elected a Republican to the U.S. Senate in over a decade, although the GOP has controlled the state’s governor mansion since 2017.
在最近的民意调查中，这位民主党候选人始终保持着对苏努努的微弱优势。在《纽约时报》与锡耶纳大学联合开展的民调中，帕帕斯的支持率领先5个百分点；而在上个月新罕布什尔大学进行的调查中，这一优势则扩大至8个百分点。
The Democratic candidate has maintained a slight lead ahead of Sununu in recent polling. Pappas posted a 5-point advantage in a New York Times/Siena University poll and an 8-point advantage in a University of New Hampshire survey last month.
此次AARP/NHIP民调于9月28日至29日期间开展，共调查了1,042名可能参与投票的新罕布什尔州选民，误差范围约为3个百分点。
The AARP/NHIP survey was conducted among 1,042 likely New Hampshire voters from Sept. 28 to 29 with a margin of error of approximately 3 percentage points.
