Obama Leads Romney By Nearly Double Digits In New Hampshire

President Obama has begun the general election phase of the campaign with a strong lead over Mitt Romney in New Hampshire.

In a new poll from WMUR, Obama leads Romney 51% to 42%. In October, Romney had led Obama 50% to 42% in the same poll.

While New Hampshire only has 4 electoral votes, it has been considered a swing state for the last few elections.

Romney was expected to make it more of a contest, since he was governor of nearby Massachusetts.
