St. A’s poll: Obama up by 12
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterAccording to a Saint Anselm College poll Barack Obama is leading John McCain by 12 points in the Granite State, a margin significantly higher than recent polls.
Last week a Suffolk University poll had Obama beating McCain by 1 point, while a UNH poll had McCain leading Obama by 2 points and Rasmussen had McCain also up by 2 points.
In the Saint Anselm poll Obama is leading McCain by 49 percent to 37 percent with 11 percent undecided.
"Change in Washington is extremely important to 44% of likely voters, the poll shows. Of those voters, Obama drew 65% and McCain 22%. Ten percent of voters were undecided and 3% said they would vote for another candidate," the poll also concludes.
Abt SRBI performed the poll which has a margin of error of 3.5 percent and included 832 respondents.

Quote of the Day
"Last June we were promised by the Republican National Committee and McCain HQ's that we would be consulted on campaign strategy in New Hampshire. I guess that promise was as empty as the head of the person responsible for creating political strategy in New Hampshire. What can we expect next -- phone jamming calls on election day? Thanks guys."
