Overview: Both candidates were well known
to New Hampshire voters. in particular, former Gov. Mitt Romney
could count the Granite State as one of his home states; he owns a home
on Lake Winipesaukee, had waged two primary
campaigns here, and served as governor of neighboring
Massachusetts. When the votes were counted Obama/Biden prevailed with a
plurality of 39,643 votes (5.58 percentage points). Obama carried
seven counties to three for Romney (Rockingham, Belknap and Carroll). General Election Details Obama | Romney BALLOT [PDF] |

2008
Overview By Nov. 2008 Democrats had obtained a slight voter registration edge over Republicans. Both the major candidates were certainly well known to New Hampshire voters.

Obama/Biden prevailed with a plurality of 68,292 votes (9.61 percentage points), carrying all 10 counties. Obama/Allies | McCain/Allies | Nader |

2004
Overview New Hampshire was one of the much-watched battleground states. It was the only state to flip from red to blue, as Kerry gained a plurality of 9,274 votes (1.37 percentage points) over Bush. Kerry finished ahead in six counties (Cheshire, Coos, Grafton, Merrimack, Strafford, and Sullivan) to Bush's four (Belknap, Carroll, Hillsborough, and Rockingham).

2000
Overview Gov. Bush was thumped by Sen. McCain in the Feb. 1 New Hampshire Republican primary, but he rebounded in the Nov. general election, carrying this battleground state with a plurality of 7,211 votes (1.27 percentage points). Bush won 6 of the state's 10 counties. In the most populous county, Hillsborough (includes Manchester), Bush finished 3,024 votes ahead of Gore. Gore fared best in Cheshire county (Keene) and Strafford county (Rochester and Dover) and narrowly won Merrimack and Grafton counties. Nader's 22,198 vote showing may have tipped the balance to Bush.
