Final WMUR NH POLL: Obama 51% (+4) Romney 48% (+1)

Over the final weekend before the November 6 election, President Barack Obama has opened up a small advantage over former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. In the final Granite State Poll before the election, 50% of likely New Hampshire voters say they will vote for Barack Obama, 45% say they will vote for Romney, 1% will support another candidate, and 4% are undecided.

And when undecided voters are allocated to the candidate they are most likely to vote for, the final prediction is 51% for Obama, 48% for Romney, and 1% for other candidates.

There is a pronounced gender gap -- Obama leads among women by 58% to 40% while Romney leads among men, 53% to 42%. There is also a religious divide -- among regular church goers, Romney holds a 60% to 38% lead while Obama leads by 60% to 35% among people who never attend church services.

Maybe they were using additional information, like favorability ratings, to determine that. I don't know.
