Poll: Obama Over Romney In New Hampshire

A survey from the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) shows President Barack Obama on solid footing in New Hampshire, a state that is viewed as friendly territory to presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney.

In the automated poll of registered voters, Obama tops Romney, 53 percent to 41 percent. Romney also gets no boost from New Hampshire’s junior United States Senator, Kelly Ayote. When Ayote is added to Romney’s ticket in a hyopthetical general election matchup, the Democratic ticket of Obama and Vice President Joe Biden still wins, 52 percent to 42 percent.

Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, has deep roots in New England. He has a home in New Hampshire and those personal connections helped him seal a landslide victory in the state’s Republican primary in January. Democrats have won New Hampshire in the previous two presidential contests. The TPM Poll Average currently gives Obama a clear lead in the state.

1. Democrats would have won in 2000 if not for a third party candidate winning 3 times Bush's

margin of victory.

2. Lately in the house,

we have had a bunch of Free-Staters and Tea-flavored people causing destruction or just plain doing nothing.
The people of NH are souring on the R/TParty.
And we've known Rmoney for years, so we know what he's all about. New Hampshire Republicans like him, sure, but I have faith that we will go back to blue, or at least purple.
