Due to the lack of a Democratic candidate, there have not been any head-to-head polls conducted. However, one poll tests Sununu against a generic Democratic candidate, which shows Sununu’s potential vulnerability as his approval has tanked since his re-election
The poll comes from Saint Anselm College, with the fieldwork of January 11-12, 2022, asking 1275 registered voters their choice between Sununu and a generic Democratic candidate. It showed both the candidates garnering 45% of the vote.

NH Governor Election 2022 Polls: What Happened In Last Election?
The last New Hampshire gubernatorial election was held on November 3, 2020. Chris Sununu defeated his opponent Dan Feltes remarkably.
Sununu’s 2020 win was a landslide win as he received the most votes of any Gubernatorial candidate in NH history despite Biden winning the state by over 7 points. His first two races were much closer. He only won by 2.2 points in 2016 and a little over 7 in 2018. In 2020 he received 65.1% of total votes polled while his opponent received only 33.4% of votes.
New Hampshire is one of the whitest states in the country and had one of the larger swings in 2020 compared to 2016. In 2016, it was the closest state in the country by raw vote total as Clinton won by 0.3%.
However, Biden did 7 points better powered by impressive margins with White college-educated voters in the southeast of the state, which are considered part of the Boston Metro Area. The demographics of the state do favor Democrats, as it is irreligious, heavily urbanized and one of the most college-educated states in the country.
However, it remains politically quirky as its voter tend to split their tickets a lot. While Biden won the state in 2020, Republicans won full control of the state legislature, wresting it from Democratic control after they won it during their 2018 wave, powered by Governor Sununu’s popularity. Democrats will be hoping to avoid a surprising result like this again.
