President Obama has a seven-point lead over Mitt Romney in New Hampshire but they’re neck-and-neck in North Carolina and Nevada, according to new swing state polling.
Likely voters in the NBC/Wall Street Journal/Marist Institutepolls released last night prefer Obama 51%-44% in New Hampshire, where Romney has a vacation home. Obama leads Romney by 2 percentage points each in North Carolina and Nevada, but the numbers are within the margin of error.
The findings track other recent polling in these battlegrounds — among about a dozen states where the presidential contest will likely be decided.
Obama’s standing in these polls has been aided by improved perceptions about the direction of the country, especially in New Hampshire.
