A poll has Barack Obama leading John McCain by one percentage point in the Granite State.

The Allstate/National Journal Battleground State Polls shows Obama beating his rival 44 percent to 43 percent among registered voters.

"The majority of voters across all three states (78%) feel that the outcome of this year's Presidential election will affect them and their families, while only 14% feel it will affect them 'not that much' or 'not at all.'" the poll concludes. "This is particularly true in New Hampshire with 58% of voters reporting that the outcome of the election will affect them a 'great deal.'"

The poll interviewed 403 registered voters and has a margin of error of 4.9 percent. The poll was also conducted in Michigan and Pennsylvania.
