April 23, 2004--Four years ago, George W. Bush won New Hampshire's four Electoral Votes by a single percentage point (48% to 47%). In Election 2004, it may be that close again.

The latest Rasmussen Reports poll finds Senator John F. Kerry with 47% of the New Hampshire vote to 45% for President George W. Bush. That 2-point difference is well within the survey's 4.5 percentage point margin of sampling error.

It's the Massholes in the Southern Tier.

Liberals from the northeast have been polluting the populaces of FL, NC, AZ, CO, NV, NH, GA...all traditionally Republican states. The electoral map 20 years from now is going to look vastly different and I'm not sure for the better.

Then why has voter registration in many of those states you listed favored the GOP in recent years?

Scot Rasmussen -- his machines are so off.

Trust only SurveyUSA machines.

I wish Rasmussen posted his internals. The numbers for Benson and Gregg seem too low.

[KellyAdmirer]

Rasmussen got spanked big time in 2000 for predicting a Bush landslide, and now bends over backwards the other way to regain some cred. I don't know exactly how New Hampshire is going to vote, but I sure wouldn't trust a Rasmussen poll to tell me.

These ratings pale by comparison to
Senator Judd Gregg
who is viewed favorably by 62% of the state's voters. Gregg is preferred by a 54% to 31% margin over a Democrat in the race for the U.S. Senate.

Fifty-six percent (56%) of New Hampshire voters have a favorable opinion of
Governor Craig Benson.
Forty-one percent (41%) hold an unfavorable view. Benson holds a nine point edge (46% to 37%) over a Democratic challenger in his bid for re-election.

I would like to do a poll of my own. How many people have ever been contacted by this or any other poll.

All these polls are "accidentally" leaving off NADER.

Keep point out these facts to the disenfranchised:
-- Nader supports gay marriage (bye bye gay votes for Kerry)

-- Nader is anti-war (bye bye Dean voters for Kerry)

-- Nader is anti-NAFTA (bye bye Union voters for Kerry)

-- Nader is an environmentalist (bye bye eco-terrorist voters for Kerry)

It appears Rasmussen made an adjustment because in the 2000 Pres. election he got burnt by the DUI story.

I was contacted by a USAToday poll during the Clinton years. I proudly got a notch in for the sane minority.
