ARG: Obama Up 12 In New Hampshire

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Democrats, Independents, McCain, New Hampshire, Polls, Republicans

These findings are actually quite a bit of surprise given how strong McCain’s brand is in the Granite State, but the key here is that Independents favor Obama by a 15 point spread.

Obama - 51%
McCain - 39%

Here’s how the demos break down…

Party ID of likely voters
Democrats - 31%
Republicans - 31%
Independent - 38%

Candidate preference by party ID
Democrats - Obama +84
Republicans - McCain +64
Independent - Obama +15

Gender: Male (48% of likely voters)
Obama - 48%
McCain - 47%

Gender: Female (52% of likely voters)
Obama - 54%
McCain - 32%

Age: 18 to 49 (45% of likely voters)
Obama - 48%
McCain - 41%

Age: 50 & older (55% of likely voters)
Obama - 53%
McCain - 37%

What’s more, 43% of those polled said they’d never vote for McCain, while only 25% said they’d never vote for Obama? Could this be backlash from McCain’s rightward shift?

More as it develops…
