1 THE CNN / WMUR NH PRIMARY POLL THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE July 17, 2007 CLINTON, OBAMA TOPS AMONG NH DEMOCRATS By: Andrew E. Smith, Ph.D. Dante Scala, Ph.D. UNH Survey Center 603/ DURHAM, NH New York Senator Hillary Clinton continues to lead the field of Democratic candidates in the New Hampshire primary although Illinois Senator Barack Obama has narrowed her lead to single digits. New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson is narrowly in the third spot. The war in Iraq continues to be seen as the most important issue in the campaign. These findings are based on the latest CNN / WMUR New Hampshire Primary Poll * conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. Three hundred thirty-three (333) randomly selected likely New Hampshire Democratic primary voters were interviewed by telephone between July 9 and July 17, The margin of sampling error is +/- 5.5%. Democratic Primary Hillary Clinton, who has led the field of potential Democratic candidates among likely New Hampshire Democratic Primary voters for more than two years, remains in the lead. However, Clinton s lead over Barak Obama has slipped to only 8 percentage points. Clinton currently is favored by 33% of likely Democratic Primary voters followed by Obama (25%), New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson (10%), former North Carolina Senator John Edwards (8%) former Vice President Al Gore (8%), Delaware Senator Joe Biden (3%), Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich (3%), some other candidate (1%), and 9% are undecided. When Gore is dropped from the race, there is little change in the overall race dynamic Clinton still leads (36%), followed by Obama (27%), Richardson (11%), and Edwards (9%). Clinton has been the front-runner in New Hampshire and across the country and her support in New Hampshire has been in the mid-30s most of the past two years. She gets her strongest support from women, older voters, those with lower levels of income, Catholics and voters living in the New Hampshire Seacoast. Obama has narrowed Clinton s lead from 14 to 8 percentage points over the past month. Obama s strongest support comes from undeclared voters, political independents, and young voters. Obama is well positioned among Democratic voters with high incomes and education who also tend to be more liberal, said Andrew Smith, Director of the UNH Survey Center. He is also doing well among the undeclared voters who have the option of voting in either primary and as two-thirds of undeclareds indicate they are going to vote in the Democratic primary, it represents a large pool of support for Obama. Support for Richardson has remained steady and he is now in the third spot, slightly ahead of Edwards and Gore. Richardson has been at 10 percent the past two months. He gets his strongest support from voters with postgraduate educations. Edwards has seen his support steadily decrease in recent months, from 21% in April to 12% in June and to 8% in July. Clinton clearly appeals most to traditional Democratic voters, said Dante Scala of the University of New Hampshire Department of Political Science, but her base of support remains broad, including independents and anti-war Democrats. Bill Richardson is making significant inroads among highly educated voters, who have trended toward Obama nationally, he added. * We ask that this copyrighted information be referred to as the Granite State Poll, sponsored by CNN and WMUR-TV.

2 50% NH Democratic Presidential Primary Likely Democratic Primary Voters 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Feb. '05 Apr. '05 July '05 Oct. '05 Feb. '06 Apr. '06 July '06 Sep. '06 Feb.' 07 April '07 June '07 July '07 Clinton Edwards Richardson Gore Biden Obama Undeclared Voters Undeclared voters, often referred to as Independents, can vote in either the Democratic or Republican primary. Among those undeclared voters who say they will vote in the Democratic primary election, Obama holds a narrow lead over Clinton 32% to 30%, with 9% favoring Richardson, 8% supporting Edwards, and 6% supporting Gore. Consider voting for Likely Democratic voters were asked if they would consider supporting a candidate or if they would not support that candidate under any circumstances. Overall, Democrats are willing to support the candidates leading at the national level, Clinton, Obama and Edwards. Only 16% say they would not vote for Clinton under any circumstances, 15% say they would not vote for Obama under any circumstances, and 24% say they would not vote for Edwards under any circumstances. Still Undecided Even though most New Hampshire Democratic voters say they are currently supporting a candidate, this does not mean they have made up their minds to vote for that candidate. When asked if they have definitely decided on a candidate, if they are leaning toward a candidate, or if they are still trying to decide, only 10% say they have definitely decided who they will vote for, 26% say they are leaning toward a candidate, and 64% say they are still trying to decide. New Hampshire Democrats, as a whole, are satisfied with the Democratic presidential field 32% say they are very satisfied with the Democratic candidates, 54% are somewhat satisfied, 9% are not very satisfied, and only 3% are not satisfied at all. Electability One of the major criteria that voters consider when supporting a candidate for President in the New Hampshire primary is whether the candidate can win the general election. In 2004, John Kerry won in New Hampshire, in part, to a perception that he was more electable than Howard Dean. Clinton is currently seen as the Democratic most able to defeat the Republican nominee in November % name Clinton, followed by Obama (17%), Gore (10%), and Edwards (9%). Issues The most important issue to New Hampshire Democrats in the 2008 Presidential election continues to be the war in Iraq, named by 45%, followed by health care (17%), foreign policy (10%), and the economy (9%). When asked what the three most important issues are, 67% said that the war in Iraq is one of the three most important issues, followed by health care (50%), the economy (31%), the economy (41%), and foreign policy (20%). The percentage naming the war in Iraq as the most important issue has consistently been named as the most important issue. Met a Candidate? Perhaps the most significant difference between the New Hampshire primary and other nominating contests is the ability for voters to meet or personally see the candidates. Among likely Democratic primary voters, 37% say they have met one or more candidates 15% say they have met three or more, 9% have met two, 12% have met one, and 63% have met none. The candidates who New Hampshire Democrats are most likely to have met or seen in person are Clinton, Obama, Edwards, and Richardson.

3 CNN / WMUR NH Primary Poll Methodology These findings are based on the latest CNN / WMUR NH Primary Poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. Three hundred thirty-three (333) likely 2008 Democratic Primary voters (margin of sampling error +/- 5.5%) were interviewed between July 9 and July 17, Results reported for other subgroups have potential for somewhat larger variation than those for the entire population. The data have been weighted to adjust for numbers of voters and telephone lines within households, respondent sex, and region of the state. In addition to potential sampling error, all surveys have other potential sources of nonsampling error including question order effects, question wording effects, and non-response.
