Mike Pomp
Mike Pomp is a veteran broadcast journalist who anchors fast-turn New Hampshire news and politics coverage on the Morning Information Center for The Pulse of NH. His work focuses on how state-level decisions, polls, and government actions play out in the daily lives of residents, blending political reporting with concise local news briefs. He has covered New Hampshire news and politics on air for more than five decades, earning recognition from the state’s broadcasters association for his work.
Polls, Elections, and Voter Sentiment
Pomp regularly reports on New Hampshire polling, translating survey data into clear takeaways about voter sentiment and electoral dynamics.
In coverage of congressional races, he highlights topline numbers, party matchups, and margins of error from UNH Survey Center polls, giving listeners a quantitative view of the campaign landscape. His reporting on presidential approval and policy-specific polls, including stories on low approval ratings for Donald Trump and the impact of tariffs, ties shifting national politics back to household costs and local perceptions. Around primaries and general elections, he tracks expected and actual turnout, notes the absence of significant problems at polling locations, and recaps key results in brief, factual updates.
This recurring focus on polling and turnout gives his political coverage a distinctly data-driven texture compared with routine campaign trail reporting.
From the New Hampshire Statehouse and Public Policy
Pomp’s reporting from the statehouse concentrates on practical consequences of legislation and policy debates for schools, drivers, and taxpayers.
In pieces on open enrollment bills, he outlines the terms of proposed deals, the caps on participation, and the competing arguments from Republicans, Democrats, and the governor without commentary, keeping attention on what the measures would change. He covers administrative and judicial developments such as the resignation of the New Hampshire Supreme Court chief justice, major retrials, and landmark cases including the state’s first deepfake trial, emphasizing process, timing, and implications for the legal system.
His work on statewide initiatives and programs, from free tuition efforts at the university system to changes in how the DMV shares records with other states, details how bureaucratic decisions translate into new obligations or benefits for residents. Through these stories he consistently frames politics as governance and policy execution rather than only campaigns and personalities.
Economic Conditions, Weather, and Everyday Impacts
Pomp devotes significant attention to economic and environmental factors that directly affect New Hampshire households, often linking them to broader political or regulatory contexts.
His gas price coverage leans on AAA figures to track week-on-week and year-on-year changes, clearly stating average prices, increases, and how the state compares to national benchmarks. In drought and storm pieces, he describes evolving conditions, nor’easter impacts, and power outage updates, treating extreme weather as both a safety concern and an infrastructure test for the state. Stories on mosquitoes and virus activity, starter home availability, and the state’s ranking among the happiest in the country show a recurring interest in quality-of-life indicators and housing pressures.
He also reports on event turnout and tourism-linked gatherings such as Motorcycle Week, noting participation levels and economic implications for local communities. This pattern of coverage positions economic and environmental stories as part of the same continuum as policy and politics, not as separate human-interest features.
Local Incidents, Public Safety, and Regional News Briefs
Alongside politics and policy, Pomp maintains a steady stream of concise reports on local incidents across Concord, the Lakes Region, Manchester, Nashua, the Seacoast, and neighboring Maine. His briefs on crashes, searches at sea, aviation accidents, and contractor disputes focus on verified facts - who was injured, where an incident occurred, and what authorities are doing - while avoiding sensational detail.
Coverage of parole decisions, long-running murder cases, and investigations like the Bow spa probe shows an ongoing interest in how the justice system revisits past crimes and regulates local businesses.
He also folds in sports and community developments, such as Red Sox–Yankees postseason matchups and theater season openings, to round out the morning news agenda. Across these items, his format is consistent: short, time-stamped updates that situate local events within the broader flow of New Hampshire news rather than treating them as isolated stories.
Taken together, Pomp’s body of work presents New Hampshire politics as part of a wider ecosystem of polls, public policy, economic pressures, and everyday incidents, delivered in compact segments that keep pace with a drive-time audience. His distinctive contribution on the politics beat is the integration of survey data, statehouse negotiations, and ground-level news into a single, disciplined stream of coverage that returns repeatedly to how decisions made in government affect people across the state.
