Rasmussen NH Poll (Good News to Come)

MANCHESTER, N.H. – New Hampshire launched John McCain's two presidential campaigns, and now he's hoping it doesn't end his bid for the White House. The Republican nominee was returning Wednesday to the state whose primary he won in 2000 and again earlier this year. But there were signs it was tilting toward Democrat Barack Obama in the Nov. 4 general election. Recent polls have shown Obama, an Illinois senator, with a lead no smaller than 7 percentage points, prompting speculation that McCain may have to surrender the state's four electoral votes and focus elsewhere if he hopes to cobble together...

Sen. Barack Obama claims that if only we let him raise taxes on a measly 5 percent of "working Americans," he could do great things. Well, that sounds just peachy. Tax the rich, give to everyone else. Except there's one little detail the national media don't seem to like pointing out. The math doesn't add up. Numerous organizations, including the Associated Press, have noted that Obama's proposals spend hundreds of millions of dollars more than his tax hikes raise. What is less well known is that Obama's tax plan itself sends out of Washington far more than it brings in....

JOHN MCCAIN'S political fortunes may be cloudy, but Sarah Palin remains a bright beacon for some voters. How can that be? Didn't Tina Fey's deadly impersonation on "Saturday Night Live" turn the Alaska governor into a national joke? Palin's popularity tumbled after several bumbling encounters with the national media, especially a sitdown with CBS anchor Katie Couric. One of McCain's tougher moments during last week's debate with opponent Barack Obama was explaining why his running mate is qualified to be president if something happens to him. But earlier that day, Palin basked in a warm welcome during a visit to...

No ticket was required at the gate - so PLEASE if there is one nearby you - JUST GO! Hope you enjoy the slideshow, I just added a bunch more...

DOVER, N.H. -- Sen. John McCain's campaign is testing the popularity of his running mate, Sarah Palin, in battleground territories of key states, a shift from her previous charge of rallying the base in conservative enclaves. Facing slippage in the polls, the Republican ticket has broadened the role of Gov. Palin. This week's schedule has the vice-presidential candidate in a pair of battleground areas of states targeted by the campaign, including independent-heavy New Hampshire and Democrat-leaning Maine. The campaign is banking on her "cross appeal," one Palin aide said. To be sure, her main focus remains traveling to heavily Republican...

SALEM, N.H. -- "Sa-rah! Sa-rah! Sa-rah!" Two days after her Democratic counterpart drew a comparatively intimate crowd of 600 people to a small basketball gym in Manchester, Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin filled the Salem High School football field to capacity last night with adoring supporters chanting her name. "Thank you for that warm welcome to the Granite State. I hope you don't take the beauty of your great state for granted," said Palin, opening her speech before a wildly enthusiastic and all-supportive crowd that Salem fire marshal Jeff Emmanuelson estimated to be about 7,000. "I've never seen anything like...

Sarah Palin Salem New Hampshire Rally Pictures Hi All, I had the pleasure of attending the Sarah Palin Rally at Salem NH. It was a great event, and well attended as you can see, my best guess is at least 6000 People if not more, besides the bleachers that were filled, the football field was at least 2/3 full when Governor Palin Spoke. The people running the show did a great job for the most part, we were seated behind Governor Palin as my mother is handicapped, though I thought the big screen image made for interesting pictures. Please forgive...

DOVER, N.H. - Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said Wednesday she feels a kinship with the moose-hunting, tax-hating voters of New Hampshire who gave John McCain his first primary victory. At the first of three rallies, the Alaska governor said New Hampshire's state motto, "Live Free or Die," would be a good motto for her state. "You're a lot like the people of Alaska. We all love good moose hunting, I know that. We both so enjoy our great lands, with clean water, fresh air and abundant wildlife and good fishing. We love being outdoors, and I know that...

In this time of great uncertainty, America needs an experienced, decisive leader with clear vision and a steady hand to guide us through. That man is Sen. John McCain. The troubles that will face the next President of the United States are numerous and perilous. They will test the character, the resolve and the mettle of the man we choose to deal with them. Of the two men who stand on the precipice of that great office, only John McCain has proved that he has what it takes to make the tough decisions in a time of crisis. Weeks ago,...

Voters weigh in on Todd Palin race visit Published: Saturday, October 11, 2008 By Ray Duckler Concord Monitor Todd Palin, husband of rugged Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, is bringing his own polar-bear grit and igloo motif to Fremont this weekend. And, with the presidential race in its final stages, Palin no doubt will have more than just racing on his mind. We're a swing state, and there are votes to gather as well. Palin is riding in the annual Grass Drags and Water Crossing, billed as the largest event of its kind in the country. Snowmobile enthusiasts race...

DOVER — The staff at Dover High School was given the heads up that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, plans to hold a town hall-style event at the school on Wednesday, Oct. 15. The stop will mark Palin's first appearance in New Hampshire as a candidate — if not ever — and is expected to draw up to 500 people from Dover and beyond, according to an e-mail Principal Deborah Migneault sent to staff. Palin's visit falls on the heels of her husband, Todd, being in the state Saturday, when the snowmobile racer is set to...

WASHINGTON – New Hampshire's two Democratic House members -- who voted against the $700 billion financial bailout package on Monday -- won't say how they will vote today when the House takes up the revised legislation. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter said yesterday she is glad the Senate added renewable energy incentives and a provision to adjust the alternative minimum tax so 20 million Americans can avoid paying it, but said she still has concerns about the bill and how it would affect middle-class Americans. [snip] On Wednesday, she told New Hampshire Union Leader's Granite Status she was "desperately trying to get...

John McCain has gained ground for the third straight month and now holds a slight two-point advantage over Barack Obama in the swing state of New Hampshire. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the Granite State finds McCain attracting 49% of the vote while Obama earns 47%. A month ago, it was Obama by a point. At the moment, the presidential race in New Hampshire is a toss-up. Nationally, the race remains close in the Daily Presidential Tracking poll.

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...

The first New Hampshire poll since the two national political conventions shows Barack Obama leading John McCain outside of the margin of error. The CNN/Time Magazine poll gave Obama a 51 percent to 45 percent lead. The poll had a margin of error of +/- 3 percent. This poll may be evidence that the Granite State is bucking the national trend this week of higher numbers for McCain since Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's speech a week ago. Since Obama clinched the Democratic nomination in June both presidential candidates have been locked in a tie within the margin of error. After...
