PPP New Hampshire poll Obama 49 Romney 47

[octoberlib]

PPP's newest New Hampshire poll finds Barack Obama with a narrow lead over Mitt Romney in the state, 49/47. That represents a three point improvement for Obama from a week ago when he had trailed 49/48.

Granite State voters narrowly approve of the job Obama's doing, 49/48. They're not terribly fond of Romney with 47% of voters rating him favorably to 51% with a negative opinion. They trust Romney more than Obama by a 49/47 margin on the economy, but they trust Obama over Romney by a 51/46 spread on foreign policy. New Hampshire voters mostly think Obama's victories in the last two debates equaled out Romney's big win the first debate- asked to say who was the winner of the debates as a whole Romney wins out just narrowly, 46/43.

Women are the key group keeping Obama ahead in New Hampshire. He has a 57/39 advantage with them that's just enough to make up for his trailing by a 56/39 margin with men. Romney has a 47/45 advantage with independents, but Obama's overcoming that by winning over slightly more Republican voters (9%) than Romney is Democrats (6%). http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2012/10/obama-leads-narrowly-in-new-hampshire.html

2. This tells me that we have to get ALL WOMEN to the polls!

We need a sister-to-sister appeal to women in swing states.

I remember a few years ago going to a letter-writing party and handwriting letters to individual single women voters asking them to vote for Kerry for president. One woman actually wrote me back saying she was definitely going to vote for him and my letter made a difference.

It may be late, but I would be willing to do it again this election.
