DURHAM, NH -- New Hampshire residents are pessimistic about the progress of the war in Afghanistan. Approval of the Obama administration's handling of the war in Iraq has improved.

These findings are based on the latest WMUR Granite State Poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. Five hundred fifteen (515) randomly selected New Hampshire adults were interviewed by telephone between Sept. 23 and Sept. 29, 2010. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 4.3 percent.
