Poll has Obama over McCain
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterA new round of Rasmussen polling shows U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) beating U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in the Granite State.
According to Rasmussen Obama leads McCain 48 to 43 percent. The poll also has U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) beating McCain by ten points (51-41). A month ago, the same poll had McCain beating Obama by ten points.
Obama is leading McCain by eleven points among independent voters.
"Over the last three polls, Obama's support has ranged from a low of 41% to a high of 48%. McCain's support has ranged from 43% to 51%. It seems reasonable to conclude that the race remains competitive with each candidate attracting support in the mid-forties range. It may take another month or two of polling to determine where this race really stands," Rasmussen says.

The media fails to mention
The media fails to mention that the majority of Obama and Clinton supporters will rally and vote for the Democratic candidate, no matter who it turns out to be after the convention, and will therefore blow McCain out of the water. That being said, McCain is a cute, aloof old man, but we've already had that for 8 years, let's get a leader in the White House for a change.
