Although New Hampshire has only 4 votes in the Electoral College it will be a battleground state in the November election. Currently, Illinois Senator Barack Obama holds a slim lead over Arizona Senator John McCain.In the most recent Granite State Poll, 46% of likely voters say they plan to vote for Obama, 43% say they will vote for McCain, 3% prefer some other candidate and 8% are undecided. In the Spring Granite State Poll, McCain held a small 49% to 43% lead over Obama.
It is crucial to point out that the New Hampshire electorate is very much in flux and many voters have not firmly decided who they will actually vote for in November. Only 51% of likely voters say they have definitely decided who they will vote for, 21% are leaning toward a candidate, and 28% say they are still trying to decide. Among voters who say they have definitely decided who they will support, Obama holds a 54% to 44% lead.
“Neither Obama nor McCain can claim to have a hold on the New Hampshire electorate. The state will be a swing state in November,” said Andrew Smith, Director of the UNH Survey Center. “Both candidates have real opportunities to sway independent voters to their sides between now and the election.”
