Poll: Romney Cuts Into Obama’s Lead In New Hampshire
TPM LIVEWIRE ^ | Tuesday October 9, 2012 | Tom Kludt

Posted on 10/10/2012 6:28:04 AM PDT by LibFreeUSA

Mitt Romney now trails by only 6 points in New Hampshire, according to a new poll released Tuesday evening.

The latest WMUR Granite State poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, shows President Barack Obama leading Romney among likely voters, 47 percent to 41 percent. Obama held a 15-point lead in last week's Granite State poll, which was conducted Sept. 27-30.

The latest poll was conducted Sept. 30-Oct. 6, with 57 percent of the responses coming before the Oct. 3 presidential debate in Denver. As has been the case with other post-debate polling shifts, Obama has seen his once-considerable lead among female voters evaporate. Last week, the president led Romney by a staggering 27 points among New Hampshire women; in Tuesday's poll, Obama's lead among the voting bloc is only 9.

The PollTracker Average still shows Obama maintaing the solid lead in New Hampshire that he has built up over the course of the race.

The ads Romney has been running here in MA for the NH electorate to hear and see have been really good!

Last Rasmussen poll had Romney +3 in New Hampshire. That was Sept. 19.

after a couple of more debates Obama should just give-up. Sooner or later he will get frustrated and show his ass.

I always thought New Hampshire was a more conservative New England state (they have the Manchester Union Leader for crissakes). What made NH go Obama anyway? Massachusetts liberal nuts are moving in there now?

That's what I'm hoping from the next debate, all the experts are saying Obama must get "tough", from what I've seen from Obama his definition of "tough" is rude, snarky and condescending. The problem for Obama is the second debate, the "townhall" doesn't lend itself to tough talk and attacks as the candidates are suppose to be addressing individual members of the audience not each other. So he certainly runs the risk of looking like a horses ass if he tries to act "tough".

Unfortunately, I heard this morning that the NH Supreme Court struck down the voter ID law. So...there goes our state, again...

NY, CA, MA, VT, P.R., D.C., IL, and HI, ...

One wonders if there are any other truly “sure-thing” states for Obama.

I know that Obama came here to California for fund-raisers, but he also held campaign events. Why would he be spending time campaigning in California this close to the election?

I'll be very surprised if NH goes to 0bama. I know several people who voted for Zero 4 years ago and they're going to Romney this time. I don't know anyone who voted for McCain who are now voting for Zero.

Also, I don't want to put much weight into it, but judging by yard signs, I saw my first Obama sign yesterday. Romney signs are everywhere.
