Candidates Locked in Tight Race…Obama Edges McCain Among Likely Voters: With just eight days until Election Day, Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain are in a close contest for New Hampshire’s four electoral votes. Among registered voters in New Hampshire, Obama has 47% to 43% for McCain. Neither candidate has made significant inroads in the Granite State in the past month. In a Marist Poll conducted in September, Obama had 48% among registered voters to McCain’s 45%. Currently, Senator Barack Obama has a narrow lead over McCain among likely voters including those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate. Obama receives 50% to McCain’s 45% among these voters. Once again, however, neither candidate has statistically gained nor lost ground in the state. In last month’s Marist Poll, the results were similar. 51% of likely voters said they supported Obama while McCain had the backing of 45%. Looking at party support, each candidate’s base remains solid. 93% of Democrats are behind Obama while 90% of Republicans are backing John McCain. Among Independent likely voters, 51% support Barack Obama compared with 39% for McCain. Last month, 54% of Independents likely to vote on Election Day supported Obama and 38% backed McCain.
