New Hampshire voters not yet ready to write off Beto O'Rourke

EXETER, N.H. — They say Beto O’Rourke’s star is dimming. Voters in the Granite State see it differently.

According to the polls and pundits, the former Texas congressman – who turned the national buzz he got for nearly defeating U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz last year into a presidential bid — has had trouble keeping his momentum going.

He did well in first-quarter fundraising, but has slipped in the polls in recent weeks, his spotlight eclipsed by the likes of Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, and outshone by former Vice President Joe Biden’s inevitable entrance into the race. A Monmouth University poll released Thursday had O’Rourke with only 2% support among likely New Hampshire Democratic primary voters, far behind Biden’s 36 percent. Buttigieg came in third, with 9%.

“It’s not dimmed, it’s just sharing the spotlight” with other “phenomenal candidates,” said Democrat Scott Marion of Rye.
