DURHAM, NH - For the first time since taking office, more New Hampshire adults disapprove of President Barack Obama's job performance than approve. Obama also receives a negative net favorability rating for the first time among Granite Staters.

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.
