hampshire, speak of new hampshire. here's a reality check for the romney campaign. in all nine of the battleground state polls that nbc news, "the wall street journal," and marist have released, president obama is ahead. and we just showed you the fact was apparently not lost on paul ryan making that special visit to new hampshire today. dante scala is a professor of political science at the university of new hampshire, and "the washington post" deputy political editor, anne kornblut stuck around too. dante, you're on the ground there in the granite state. you're very familiar with that electorate. latest nbc news/marist poll, likely voters, president obama 51%, mitt romney 44%. what's the likelihood that the governor is able to close that gap between now and the first tuesday in november? >> i think it's going to take, craig, a national rebound for mitt romney to make it competitive here in new hampshire. there's no evidence that despite the fact that governor romney has campaigned in new hampshire off and on, really

we can do in new hampshire. i do not subscribe to the belief that washington is telling us how to care for our patients. we have to know where to do it. >> moderator: the same question. would you expand medicaid? hassan: it's important that every state has access to quality and afrdable health care which is a principle every governor has to honor. i am concerned when i hear him speak about his plan because it does not give the full picture. in addition to saying he wants to block plant and privatize medicaid he also wants opt out of the federal medicare system and give the new hampshire legislature the power to provide and regulate health care for our seniors, something that i think would be a terrible mistake for our state if for no other reason , just imagine what it would mean for new hampshire senior goes down the florida for the winter not eligible for medicare and a florida hospital and they need care. there's a lack of practicality with the proposals. in terms of the affordable care act what we can do it

governor of new hampshire has to be a governor for all people, no 47% in new hampshire as far as i'm concerned. every citizen deserves to have a responsible government, one that understands the limit of thes of the constitution and the -- limit of the constitution and understands free marketings and ere of prosperity. >>ive a record of reaching across the aisle, but you can't be the governor for everybody in nemplesz if you deny a woman the right to make health care decisions and chart her own future or deny people -- >> it's -- >> it's an economic issue. >> it's the law of the land, and as the governor of new hampshire, i'll enforce the law of the land. >> if the bill comes to your desk to ban abortion, you won't sign it in >> the law of the land abides for abortion. >> when you come on my prak, the exchange later on, we'll talk about that. thank you very much for that segment. really interesting stuff. i want to turn, now, to the final segment where we return to the panelists for a few final questions. now, for this segment, you'll have two minutes to answer, and if there's a follo

new hampshire, leads by seven points. romney launched his presidential campaign there and has a summer home there. we will see. we have three more polls, state polls and big three next week before the debate, a national poll coming out, but you see the environment. one other interesting note on polling, if you average the nine states together in the various leads, almost looks identical to the national polls. five and a half point lead for the president, 49, 44 with rounding, which of course is where all the national polls sit around five points for the president. romney starts his morning in a state that hasn't been able to put into play, pennsylvania. he will speak to veterans at valley forge military academy in a philadelphia suburb. only public event of the day. he will be fund-raising in philadelphia, probably the motivation why he is in philly. slew of national polls show how damaging romney's remark on the 47% has been to his campaign. the most recent national polls trails the president by 5 to 8 points. instead of

the state of new hampshire if you look at some of the statistics, the state of new hampshire has four electoral votes, but those four electoral votes could be pivotal this time around, that's why the two campaigns are fighting so hard to win new hampshire. unemployment looking pretty good in new hampshire, a rate of 5.4%, much better than the national average. if you look at the visits, president obama has been there twice. mitt romney eight times. he has sometimes combined vacations at his lake house there with some campaigning. and of course he was the governor of neighboring massachusetts, so he has some history in that state. looking at the polls, 48.3% is the "real clear politics" average in new hampshire for the president. 44.8% for mitt romney. drew kline is the editorial paged tore for the union leader newspaper. those poll numbers, do those seem accurate to you? >> yeah, roughly. i think that obama had a pretty big lead in new hampshire late last year. his popularity has dropped, his job performance as dropped. people are giving mitt romney a much closer look than they did be

>> the fact that he's in new hampshire and iowa and romney's in new hampshire and iowa actually testifies to the electoral advantage the president has right now. if you look at the electoral college, he's well in the lead in terms of where this would come out in november. iowa and new hampshire are two states that kind of hang in the balance. if mitt romney can't carry ohio, he's going to have a very hard time getting elected president. if barack obama carries iowa and new hampshire, it's almost impossible for him not to get re-elected. >> he has a much easier way to go to the electoral victory. thank you, bob. great to see you. >> great to see you. >>> those disappointing job numbers are only adding 96,000 jobs last month, well below expectations, but for the african-american community, at 14%, that unemployment rate is double the rate for whites. congresswoman barbara lee of california joins me from charlotte. thanks very much for joining us the day after the big night, the big convention. congresswoman, this is not the jobs news that any democrat wanted to see. >> well, let me say firs

new hampshire was the state where romney kicked off his presidential bid last june. he also came back and kicked off his general election candidacy there. right now, mr. obama is leading polls in new hampshire and all the other swing states. >> how many stars would you have given today? >> how many will you give me? >> four possible. >> four stars. >> there you go. >> all right. things are changing though. jim ramsey will join us. >> we would like another but we're not going to get it. bob: you may not realize how good a day this was. having an 80 degree temperature today. 79. how about that for a high temperature. that's about 10 degrees above normal for this date. not much to show you on the time lapse camera. it looks like a gorgeous postcard. we had blue skies most of the day. that helped the temperature to move up rather dramatically. wind have been breezy but they are beginning to die down. our high temperature again today 79 degrees. would you believe it? but we're probably going to see a little drop tomorrow. something on the order of about 10 or 12 degrees.

, new hampshire. he's going to be appearing with vice president biden and their respective wives, jill biden and michelle obama. one key for the president here is to try to convince independent voters to stick with them but that hill got a little bit higher to climb with the jobs numbers coming out this morning, 96,000 jobs provided during the month of august, for every job provided four other americans gave up looking for work. here is the president speaking last night at the convention, encouraging people to stick with him. >> if you buy into the cynicism that the change we fought for isn't possible, well, change will not happen. if you give up on the idea that your voice can make a difference then other voices will fill the void, the lobbyists and special interests, the people with the ten million dollars checks who are trying to buy this election. >> reporter: never mind that the democratic national convention just like the republican convention was chalked full with special interest and corporate
