U.S. Sen. John Sununu (R-Waterville Valley) will have to improve his standing among independents if he has any chance of holding to his seat this fall, a poll released yesterday suggests.

Jeanne Shaheen in his re-election campaign. A closer look into the poll show the difference could be in how independent voters view him.
