In New Hampshire, Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) leads Democrat Maggie Hassan by 6 points, 50 percent to 44 percent. Last week’s poll showed them tied.

And in Pennsylvania, Democrat Katie McGinty took a 2-point lead over Sen. Pat Toomey (R), 45 percent to 43 percent. The poll last week showed Toomey leading by 3 points.

The Michigan and Pennsylvania polls were conducted Oct. 25–26, and the New Hampshire one Oct. 23–25.
