President Barack Obama holds a narrow 3-point edge in New Hampshire, according to a new poll released Monday.
In the latest poll from the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, 49 percent of likely Granite State voters support Obama, while 46 percent prefer Mitt Romney. New Hampshire is seen as conducive political territory to Romney, although Democrats have carried the state in four of the last five presidential elections.
The presumptive Republican nominee was governor of a neighboring state, Massachusetts, and his family maintains a home in New Hampshire. In January, Romney won the state’s Republican primary in resounding fashion.
The PollTracker Average shows New Hampshire currently leaning toward Obama, who leads Romney, 49 percent to 45.7 percent.
