On her July 5, 2026 broadcast, Jen Psaki said "a new survey published last week shows Congressman Pappas leading John Sununu in a head-to-head matchup, registered voters in an online survey saying they prefer Pappas over Sununu by six points." The survey checks out. The Saint Anselm College Survey Center published its June poll on June 30, five days before the broadcast, and the full results show the head-to-head test: Pappas 47 percent, Sununu 41 percent, a six-point lead [1]. The poll was conducted as an online survey of 1,614 New Hampshire registered voters, matching each detail of the description [1][4]. Regional coverage of the poll reported the same six-point margin [2]. A different poll released the same week, from the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, found a closer three-point Pappas lead [3]; that is a separate survey, and its characteristics do not match the one Psaki described. Every element of the statement, the timing, the voter pool, the survey format, and the margin, matches the published record. Verdict: TRUE.
