Quote:
Obama leads by double digits among women while McCain leads by double digits among men. Obama leads by eleven among voters not affiliated with either major political party. In New Hampshire, a plurality of voters fall into this category.McCain is viewed favorably by 63% of the state’s voters, up from 59% a month ago and from 55% the month before.
Obama is viewed favorably by 57%, down four points over the past month but little changed from two months ago.
Among voters who consider economic issues the most important, Obama leads by twenty-seven percentage points. Among those who believe national security issues are the highest priority, McCain leads 70% to 28%. The good news for Obama is that 44% consider economic issues most important. Only 26% say the same about national security issues. Those figures are similar to the national average and reflect quite a turnaround from Election 2004.
In New Hampshire, 52% of voters say that reducing the price of gas and oil is more important than protecting the environment. Thirty-seven percent (37%) disagree and say protecting the environment is more important.
Fifty-eight percent (58%) say the U.S. and its allies are winning the War on Terror while just 15% say the terrorists are winning. Nationally—for the first time since 2004—a majority of voters believe the U.S. and its allies are winning that war. Still, a plurality of voters in New Hampshire tend to agree with Barack Obama and say that Afghanistan is more of a threat to the United States than Iraq at this point. That, too, reflects the national mood.
