Poll Shows Kerry Hanging onto Slim Lead in N.H. (Red States for Kerry!)

[mobuto]

DURHAM, N.H. -- New Hampshire residents are closely split on who they plan to vote for in the nest presidential election.

A new poll will be released next week by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. Pollster Andy Smith said the poll will show Sen. John Kerry with a slim lead over President George W. Bush, but there are signs that could change.

Since February, the president's approval ratings have remained in the high 40s, but Kerry's numbers dropped dramatically over the last two months, from 57 to 46 percent. Smith said he's not surprised by the shift.

"The afterglow from the Democratic primary is wearing off," Smith said. "It's no longer just a Democratic message. Secondly, Bush has aired many TV ads in the state."

1. don't be suprised if bush causes

another terrorist attack in new hampshire, especially in districts heavily populated by liberals

[BrotherBuzz]

13. Another attack on the Old Man of the Mountain?

Franconia is pretty liberal if my mind serves me correctly.

15. NO!!!! I live in such a place. n/t

16. Uh, yeah, I don't think so

Karl Rove, Mike DuHaime, Ken Mehlman, Kelley McCullough and friends have plenty of conventional tricks planned to try to steal the election. But don't be silly.

2. That's great news!

When was the last time New Hampshire cast their votes for a democratic presidential candidate?
I alwasy thought it was a republican stronghold.

4. You have to go way back for that one...

You have to take a long trip back into the past, back when the economy was booming and we were at peace, back when the President's sex life and OJ Simpson's glove were our biggest worries, a time before Elian Gonzalez and the invasion of Iraq, yes, you have to go back to 1996.

5. It seems like a lifetime ago.

Even though only 10 years.

7. Actually, that would be 8

11. You're right but it seems like 10!

Oops :crazy:

14. Don't worry - it is a long time

It was another era, another lifetime for all of us. America changed in 2001, even before September 11.

3. Gore would have won NH without Nader screwing things up.

I think Kerry will win easily this time.

6. Great news

Any Red States that can be moved to the Blue column are appreciated.

8. Kerry's a New Englander

--I'm sure that has something to do with it.

[mobuto]

12. Yes - that helps Bush

New Hampshire has no use for Massachusetts. If Kerry were Kerry but from, oh say, New York, he'd be up by a solid 5.
