Elections 2012 update: Obama sets sights on New Hampshire

Dante Scala, a political scientist at the University of New Hampshire, said that with the state’s economy on solid footing compared with national trends and the president boosting his presence in the state, some New Hampshire Democrats are starting to feel more confident about their prospects in November.

“There probably was concern among Democrats that maybe New Hampshire is not part of the president’s re-election plan,” he said. “Now things have kind of reverted back to form in a hurry.”

Following his remarks in New Hampshire, Obama planned to travel to New York for four campaign fundraisers.
