WMUR/UNH: Obama +6 in NEW HAMPSHIRE

[TroyD]

WMUR/UNH - Obama +6

Obama - 47

Romney - 41

-------

Good number for Obama, but as the article says, it is a decline from where he was pre-debate. Good thing Bill Clinton was in NH for Obama recently. Hopefully these numbers will hold and stay in the lead.

The poll indicates Romney's resurgence is largely due to female voters giving him a second look.

"Historically, women have been going strongly for Democrats, and they have been going very, very strongly for Obama," Smith said.

But Smith said things are shifting in a big way among female voters. Last week, the president held a 27-point lead among New Hampshire women, but that number is now down to 9.

"We're seeing that in New Hampshire, and we are seeing that across the country," Smith said. "And I think that this means that this election is in a very, very different position now that it was two weeks ago."

1. Obama needs to bring up Romney's pro-Personhood Amendment stance.

And Romney's hesitation on supporting equal pay for equal work.

2. Does not surprise me. Here is the thing in NH:

People up here have a built in bullshit detector. They know Mitt Romney is a phoney. I suspect that the NH polls have less to do with policy and more to do with sizing that bastard up.

5. It does show a decline in the large lead with women voters, though

In the next debate, Obama needs to slam Romney for being against women, gays & racial minorities and for having right-wing extremists (eg. Todd Akin etc.) running for his party.

6. 41%--the switch hasn't been to Romney but undecided.

7. Mostly pre-debate numbers. Not a good poll. nt
