"President Barack Obama has opened a lead over Mitt Romney in New Hampshire. Independent voters who had been supporting Romney have swung to Obama in recent weeks." ....... "With one month remaining before the November 6 election, Barack Obama has opened up a statistically significant lead over Mitt Romney in the battleground state of New Hampshire. In the most recent Granite State Poll, 52% of likely New Hampshire voters plan to vote for Obama, 37% say they will support Romney, 3% prefer some other candidate, and 9% say they are undecided."

Live For Free or Die?
And we let this state choose our candidate???
Whatever ~ the polls, whoever did them, are probably based on a less than 9% response ~ and at that level are woefully out of whack when it comes to randomness of the selection. I wouldn’t worry about them. This year is different for the pollsters ~ far worse ~ 50% worse than 2009.

Exactl;y, This is not surprising for New hampshire.
It;s a state filled with yankee liberals who cannot tell sheit from Shinola.
They must love them high gas prices in New Hampshire.
I don’t believe it.
Live Free, or pay for what ever the Govt tells you to!
NH is the same state that voted for progressive Dem Woodrow Wilson twice and super progressive FDR three times. Their conservative rep is kind of iffy in my opinion.
I’m in Nashua, and I haven’t seen a single Obama yard sign. Romney/Ryan signs everywhere (and I mean EVERYWHERE) and only the occasional, sad O bumper sticker on a Jetta or Prius.
This sounds funny to me.NH was the state that,in 2010,flipped both their House seats from Maoist Rats to Republicans *and* sent a Republican to the Senate.I don’t live in NH so I’m no expert but my statement about 2010 is accurate.Also,the New Hampshire legislature just overrode the Rat governor’s veto and enacted a voter ID law.And lastly my understanding is that the Republican candidate for governor is leading the Rat.
Except for Downtown Nashua and the elite towns of Hollis, New Boston, and Mt. Vernon, that area tends to be more conservative.
I live near Keene (aka Kiev), where the Keene Sentinel (Kiev Slantinel) reflects the opinions of thousands of students at Keene State.
In “Live Free or Die NH”, the college students get to vote twice legally this year. Once in their NH college town and by absentee ballot in their home town.
It won’t be as easy to go precinct shopping with names from the obituary, like they used to, though. You need a photo ID to vote this year.
So, you win some, you lose some. They get to vote at least twice, anyway, if the DemonRAT precinct wardens can awaken them from their drug hazed and alcohol soaked stupor.
Meanwhile, I will crawl over broken glass to vote AGAINST the Communist usurper. It sickens me to know that a commie ideologue like him, with the filthy connections he has, and the Chicago machine, even has a fighting chance to be seriously considered for a POTUS.
The Democrats are fighting like hell to make sure that college students can vote here without having to declare domicile here and get a NH drivers’ license.
It looks like they are polling mostly government or union voters. Notice I did not say “workers”. These people have killed the golden goose. The private sector is close to dead. Where will the government get the money to pay all the pensions and salaries?
Why are there so many posters here trying to fake like Obama’s ahead in New Hampshire?
People, please relax and stop dumping on New Hampshire. This silly poll is nowhere close to being accurate.
In my area of the state there are many more Romney signs than Obama.
A few empty chairs out in the front yards as well.
Must be because they think the dems can duplicate the 15% lead in NH on election day with fraudulent votes from New York and Massachussetts residents.
I’m not seeing any bumper stickers or yard signs this time. In 2008 they were everywhere. Remember all the stickers with lipstick for Palin. I am just too lazy to get one this year. That may be the case for alot of people.
Try the table in this article to show the percentage of people called who actually respond to a poll.

Obama can’t even win Mass. by 15 points.
