(Wow - maybe McMaverick's all but assured nomination doesn't mean much for "swing state" NH after all. - promoted by Dean Barker)

A new poll released today by Rasmussen shows that Barack Obama is by a wide margin a stronger candidate against John McCain in New Hampshire.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone poll shows Clinton leading McCain 43% to 41% in New Hampshire. At the same time, Obama leads McCain 49% to 36%. National polling, updated daily, currently shows the same general trend with Obama performing better than Clinton in match-ups with McCain.

In the national daily tracking polls described above, Obama has surged to a double digit lead among all voters and a five point lead among women.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows Barack Obama opening a double-digit lead over Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. Today's results show Obama earning support from 49% of Likely Democratic Primary Voters while Clinton attracts 37% (see recent daily numbers). Perhaps the most stunning aspect of the Obama surge is that he now leads 46% to 41% among women.
