WMUR/UNH: Obama +6 in NEW HAMPSHIRE
WMUR/UNH - Obama +6
Obama - 47
Romney - 41
-------
Good number for Obama, but as the article says, it is a decline from where he was pre-debate. Good thing Bill Clinton was in NH for Obama recently. Hopefully these numbers will hold and stay in the lead.

The poll indicates Romney's resurgence is largely due to female voters giving him a second look.
"Historically, women have been going strongly for Democrats, and they have been going very, very strongly for Obama," Smith said.
But Smith said things are shifting in a big way among female voters. Last week, the president held a 27-point lead among New Hampshire women, but that number is now down to 9.
"We're seeing that in New Hampshire, and we are seeing that across the country," Smith said. "And I think that this means that this election is in a very, very different position now that it was two weeks ago."
