“Barack Obama is still slightly more favorable, 50-percent favorable, 44-percent unfavorable. But Mitt Romney is 48-percent favorable, 46-percent unfavorable,” he said.

New Hampshire has four electoral votes.

“As this race tightens, we’re used to New Hampshire only being important in the primary season but we’re looking at the general election now and we’re seeing that, electorally, the four votes from New Hampshire could count.”
