Four years ago, George W. Bush won New Hampshire's four Electoral Votes by a single percentage point (48% to 47%). In Election 2004, it may be that close again.

The latest Rasmussen Reports poll finds Senator John F. Kerry with 47% of the New Hampshire vote to 45% for President George W. Bush. That 2-point difference is well within the survey's 4.5 percentage point margin of sampling error.

Voters are also evenly divided as to which candidate they trust more when it comes to managing the economy--48% say Bush and 46% Kerry.

Fifty-nine percent (59%) of New Hampshire voters see Bush as politically conservative while 31% see the President as a political moderate.

Fifty-five percent (55%) of New Hampshire voters see Kerry as politically liberal, while 35% say moderate.

Regardless of who they will vote for, 51% of New Hampshire voters think Bush will be re-elected while 34% think Kerry will win.

Bush and Kerry are each viewed favorably by 50% of New Hampshire voters.

These ratings pale by comparison to Senator Judd Gregg who is viewed favorably by 62% of the state's voters. Gregg is preferred by a 54% to 31% margin over a Democrat in the race for the U.S. Senate.

Fifty-six percent (56%) of New Hampshire voters have a favorable opinion of Governor Craig Benson. Forty-one percent (41%) hold an unfavorable view. Benson holds a nine point edge (46% to 37%) over a Democratic challenger in his bid for re-election.
