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.

McCain is now viewed favorably by 60% of New Hampshire voters, Obama by 54%. Those figures reflect a three-point improvement for McCain and a single-point decline for Obama.

NH is a McCain type of state, IMO Maine might be as well, older white voters are a huge demographic.

If any state in the Northeast is winnable by McCain, it's New Hampshire.

Of course, you neglect to mention the Marist poll, also out today, that shows Obama with a 6-point lead.

I won't be stunned if New Hampshire goes for McCain, but I think that's less likely than an Obama win.

New hampshire has 4 electoral votes. Obama has been gaining ground in Pennsylvania and Ohio, as well as Virginia.

Not from the recent polls done including one by NPR, which have Republican affiliations way up, and many toss up states moving toward McCain.

Even your beloved Rasmussen says otherwise now:

Quote:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows Barack Obama attracting 49% of the vote while John McCain earns 47%. It’s the first time in more than two weeks that Obama has enjoyed a lead larger than a single percentage point (see trends). Both men are now viewed favorably by 55% and Rasmussen Markets data currently gives Obama a 54.7 % chance of victory (see market results for key states).
