U.S. Sen. John McCain: Photo by Getty ImagesU.S. Sen. John McCain: Photo by Getty ImagesU.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is leading both U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D- New York) and U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) in the Granite State.

McCain is beating Clinton 47%-44% and leading Obama 49%-43%, according to the latest the Granite State Poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center.

"McCain's current lead over both Obama and Clinton is clear evidence that candidates matter in elections and that elections are not always determined by the mood of the country," said Andrew Smith, Director of the UNH Survey Center. "These results also show why political parties want to end their nomination processes quickly, both Obama and Clinton have been hurt in New Hampshire because of their ongoing nomination struggle."

On John McCain's Health Care Proposal
April 30, 2008

Yesterday John McCain proposed a health care plan that is nothing more than a creative new tax on working people.  His plan would give the big insurance companies even more power over our health care and raise costs on working families who are already strapped in this increasingly sour economy.
