Mitt Romney now trails by only 6 points in New Hampshire, according to a new poll released Tuesday evening.
The latest WMUR Granite State poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, shows President Barack Obama leading Romney among likely voters, 47 percent to 41 percent. Obama held a 15-point lead in last week’s Granite State poll, which was conducted Sept. 27-30.
The latest poll was conducted Sept. 30-Oct. 6, with 57 percent of the responses coming before the Oct. 3 presidential debate in Denver. As has been the case with other post-debate polling shifts, Obama has seen his once-considerable lead among female voters evaporate. Last week, the president led Romney by a staggering 27 points among New Hampshire women; in Tuesday’s poll, Obama’s lead among the voting bloc is only 9.
The PollTracker Average still shows Obama maintaing the solid lead in New Hampshire that he has built up over the course of the race.
