Monday's poll indicates N.H. vote still dead heat
By From staff and wire reports | November 2, 2004A poll released in New Hampshire Monday shows Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry and President Bush locked in a near dead heat as voters head to the polls. The final tracking poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire for WMUR-TV, had Kerry picking up 49 percent and Bush 48 percent. One percent said they would vote for another candidate, including Ralph Nader, and 1 percent were undecided. Both Bush and Kerry picked up one percentage point since the poll surveyed likely voters by telephone Sunday, while the number of undecided and third-party voters each dropped one percentage point. The poll's results indicate that New Hampshire's four electoral votes could again prove decisive this year.
