It just keeps looking worse for Senator John McCain in New Hampshire. A new poll was released this week by WMUR at the University of New Hampshire showing Senator Obama leading McCain 58% to 33%. The poll was conducted from October 25-27 and polled 652 voters.
Obama has widened his overall lead over McCain and also his lead among independent voters, a crucial vote, in the state.
The poll also found the most important issues for New Hampshirians in the election are jobs and the economy, followed by the war in Iraq, the campaign against terrorism, the recent stock market crash, and health care. This seems to represent the general national trend in which concerns about the economy and related matters have substantially reduced the importance of otherwise big issues such as Iraq and healthcare.
This poll and others like it look increasingly bad for McCain in a state he was banking on to win.
