Poll: Obama New Hampshire Lead Gone
More bad poll news for Barack Obama today: The presidential race in New Hampshire is now a toss-up.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state finds that Barack Obama's once-double-digit lead over John McCain is down to a statistically insignificant one-point lead, 43% to 42%. This comes on the heels of a new national poll that shows McCain, for the first time, has overtaken Obama's previous lead. Individual state polls show that in seven battleground states that Obama once led 5 to 2, McCain now leads 5 to 2, including the key states of Missouri and Virginia. Moreover, the Electoral College computation managed by Real Clear Politics shows Obama has dropped to an estimated 264 votes, his lowest point yet, while McCain has surged. McCain for the first time pulled ahead, though tenuously, in the Electoral College count, 274 to 264, according to the average of state polling that includes narrow leads in swing states. The shift occurred after Indiana — the home of Democratic vice presidential prospect Senator Evan Bayh — switched to McCain's electoral total.
