University of New Hampshire Granite Poll: Obama Narrowly Ahead

University of New Hampshire Poll conducted 7/11-7/20 of 519 adults, pdf here:

Obama 46%
McCain 43%

A much smaller lead than the last two New Hampshire polls have found (check on New Hampshire's link on the left side of the page for all NH posts, or that matter any other state), as the previous two had Obama up double digits. But comparing apples to apples, McCain did lead here by 5 in UNH's previous poll, taken before Obama won the primary. The two candidates have similar favorable ratings, at 58%/31% for Obama and 56%/31% for McCain. Independents are the key block of voters in New Hampshire, and Obama leads among them by 42%-31%.

SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGE FOR OBAMA.
