WMUR / Granite State Poll
The University of New Hampshire
MCCAIN WITH SLIGHT NH EDGE, MANY VOTERS UNDECIDED
DURHAM, NH John McCain has regained a slight lead over Barack Obama in the
race for President in the swing state of New Hampshire. But many voters
remain undecided and many more say they could change their minds between
now and the election. The most important issue to voters continues to be
jobs and the economy.
These findings are based on the latest WMUR / Granite State Poll, sponsored
by WMUR-TV and conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey
Center. Five hundred fifty (550) randomly selected New Hampshire adults
were interviewed by telephone between September 14 and September 21,
2008. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/-4.2%. Included
was a subsample of 523 likely November voters (margin of sampling error,
+/-4.3%).
Although New Hampshire has only 4 votes in the Electoral College it will be
a battleground state in the November election. Currently, Arizona Senator
John McCain holds a small lead over Illinois Senator Barack Obama. In the
most recent Granite State Poll, 47% of likely voters say they plan to vote
for McCain, 45% say they will vote for Obama, 1% prefer some other
candidate and 7% are undecided.
