N.H. back to bellwether
By Dante ScalaThree recent polls put New Hampshire back to bellwether status in the presidential election.
Mid-July surveys by ARG, Rasmussen, and the University of New Hampshire Survey Research Center all estimated John McCain's support between 43 and 45 percent. Together, these polls lifted the Pollster.com estimate of McCain's standing here to 41.9 percent, up from 37 percent.
McCain's standing in the Granite State is now just 0.4 points below his national poll standing of 42.3 percent.
Before this recent set of polls, McCain stood six points below his national poll standing in New Hampshire.
Barack Obama now stands at 48 percent in New Hampshire, 1.6 points ahead of his national standing.
