DURHAM, NH – President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney are tied in New Hampshire as

the campaign enters the final weekend. The race for Governor remains too close to call with Democrat Maggie Hassan

holding a narrow advantage over Republican Ovide Lamontagne.

These findings are based on the latest

 

WMUR Granite State Poll∗

conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey

Center. Five hundred and two (502) randomly selected New Hampshire likely voters were interviewed by landline and

cellular telephone between October 31 and November 2, 2012. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 4.4

percent. In the following charts and tables, percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding.

most recent Granite State Poll, 47% of likely New Hampshire voters say they will vote for Obama, 47% say they will vote

for Romney, 2% prefer some other candidate, and 4% are undecided.
