Though the race for president remains close in New Hampshire, a majority of voters see President Barack Obama as the better candidate for most groups of Americans, according to a recent poll from the University of New Hampshire Survey Center.

The poll, released on Sept. 14, surveyed 635 randomly selected adults in New Hampshire. Participants were asked which candidate they think is better for six different groups of American people. Of those six, Republican nominee Mitt Romney was seen as the better candidate for just one group: the wealthy. 

However, the poll also found that most residents believe Romney is offering more new ideas, while Obama represents more of the same.

According to the poll, huge majorities of residents believe Obama is the better candidate for minorities (65 percent to 23 percent), women (58 percent to 32 percent), the working poor (60 percent to 33 percent), and the middle class (52 percent to 41 percent). Obama is also seen as the candidate who “represents people like you” (50 percent to 41 percent), the best candidate for the future of America (48 percent to 42 percent), and the most trustworthy candidate (48 percent to 38 percent).

On the other hand, an enormous majority of voters feel that Romney is the better candidate for the wealthy (80 percent to 10 percent).

But 44 percent of voters say Romney is presenting new ideas in his campaign, while just 25 percent think Obama is presenting new ideas. Neither candidate ranks well in the category, though, as 49 percent think Romney is offering more of the same and 67 percent think Obama is offering more of the same.

The numbers came just one day after the UNH Survey Center released the results of another poll showing that 45 percent of likely New Hampshire voters plan to vote for Obama, while 40 percent prefer Romney and 12 percent are undecided. However, the poll found that Republican voters are more motivated than Democrats, which could mean they’ll hit the polls in greater numbers.
