Rasmussen NH Poll: Obama (D) 50%, McCain (R) 39%
Election 2008: New Hampshire Presidential Election


New Hampshire: Boost from Women Strengthens Obama Lead in the Granite State

Friday, June 20, 2008

Barack Obama has more than doubled his lead over John McCain in the first poll conducted in New Hampshire since Hillary Clinton’s exit from the race. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the Granite State found Obama ahead 50% to 39%.

Last month, the Democrat had just a five-point lead over McCain. That survey also showed Clinton with a greater lead over the GOP nominee of 51% to 41%.

Obama’s insignificant two-point lead among women voters last month has bounced to a sixteen-point lead this month. His lead among male voters is nearly the same; he now leads McCain by seven percentage points among men, little changed from eight points last month.

Among voters not affiliated with either major political party, Obama leads McCain 50% to 35%. Those percentages are nearly identical to those from the last survey. Obama is backed by 81% of Democrats and 18% of Republicans in New Hampshire. McCain’s support comes from 75% of Republican voters and 12% of Democratic voters.

Obama’s favorability ratings in New Hampshire have also improved over the past month. The Democrat is viewed favorably by 61%, up from 56% in May. He is viewed unfavorably by 38%, down from 42% last month. McCain’s numbers are 59% favorable, 44% unfavorable. Those numbers are a bit stronger than last month’s totals of 55% favorable, 44% unfavorable.

4. That's HUGE!!! NH traditionally tilts RED, right?
And McSame has always been popular in NH.

But I wonder if the governor could be helping as well. I know that she is a diehard Hillary supporter but she still could have some influence.

I wonder if Susan Collins will be impacted as well....

11. Kerry won it in 2004, had Gore carried it in 2000, he would've been president.

5. Rasmussen has had the most conservative state poll numbers
so far. If Obama is up by this much in NH according to Rasmussen...then that's definently good news.

10. Why am I starting to get the feeling that all this HRC voters won't
go for Obama was some kind of GOP wet dream?
