Overview: New Hampshire, a battleground
state, produced the second closest result in the presidential election
after Michigan; Clinton/Kaine prevailed with a plurality of 2,736 votes
(x percentage points). Trump carried six counties, including
narrowly the largest, Hillsborough Co., to four counties for
Clinton. New Hampshire also saw the closest U.S. Senate race in
the country and a competitive race for Governor. Voters had already seen plenty of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in the primary campaign through candidate visits, organizing and ads. In addition Hillary Clinton was familiar from campaigns going back to her husband's 1992 primary run. Perhaps for that reason, the Democratic principals made fewer visits to the Granite state than did Trump and Pence. General Election Visits Clinton | Trump BALLOT [PDF] |

2012
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).

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. Noteworthy among the visits were Obama's June 27 unity rally with Hillary Clinton in Unity and McCain's sentimental town hall meeting in Peterborough on Nov. 2. 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.
