Final New Hampshire Polls Show McCain Leading Romney, Obama Winning Easily

Concord, NH (LifeNews.com) -- The final polls in New Hampshire show what will be a tight race on the Republican side and make it appear that Barack Obama could capture a large win among Democratic voters. Polls still mostly have McCain leading handily but Mitt Romney has experienced a slight comeback in the last 24-48 hours. Romney was said to have performed the best in the two debates over the weekend and political observers are saying he could gain a percentage point or two in the polls if more independent voters decide to vote for Obama in the Democratic contest. McCain has been counting on the support of both moderate and liberal Republicans as well as some of the independent vote. Partisan Republicans appear more likely to support Romney and Mike Huckabee, who is projected to come in third. The Suffolk/whdh poll is the only one that currently shows Romney winning and has him at 30 percent with McCain at 26 percent and Huckabee and Giuliani at 13 and 11 percent each. Its Tuesday tracking results show McCain losing a point and Huckabee gaining four from its Monday results. However, most other surveys continue to show McCain leading and even building more support as voters head to the polls today.
