Jeb Bush nods to Brown in New Hampshire Senate run

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has made a foray into New Hampshire politics, supporting Republican Scott Brown in his campaign for the U.S. Senate.

Bush is a possible contender for the GOP’s 2016 nomination for president and dipping a toe into New Hampshire, with its first-in-the-nation primary, is considered a requirement for any presidential hopeful.

On his Twitter feed Monday, Bush posted a photo with Brown, Brown’s wife and daughter, and another man taken in Massachusetts, where he was attending a fundraiser.

In the post, the son and brother of former presidents said it was “great” to be with Brown and he was “proud to support his campaign for U.S. Senate.” Brown faces a primary to take on first-term incumbent Democrat Jeanne Shaheen.

Elizabeth Warren turned him into a loser, and he's going to stay one:

Scott Brown's long-shot bid in the New Hampshire Senate race appears to be going in the wrong direction.

A new WMUR/University of New Hampshire poll released Tuesday shows Democratic incumbent Sen. Jeanne Shaheen doubling her lead over the Republican former Massachusetts senator with a little less than four months before Election Day. Shaheen leads Brown by 12 percentage points, 50 percent to 38 percent -- 6 points more than the lead she had in the April poll from WMUR/University of New Hampshire.

To make matters worse for Brown, who lost to Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts in 2012, Shaheen's popularity is growing with Granite State voters. Fifty-seven percent of those surveyed have a favorable opinion of the job she is doing, compared with 29 percent who said they have an unfavorable opinion. Just 31 percent of New Hampshire adults said they have a favorable opinion of Brown, however, while 40 percent have an unfavorable opinion.
