CBS News/New York Times New Hampshire Primary Poll, November 2007

This poll, fielded November 9-12, 2007, is a part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicits public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. New Hampshire residents were asked whether they approved of the way George W. Bush was handling the presidency, how much attention they had been paying to the 2008 presidential campaign, how likely it was that they would vote in the New Hampshire presidential primary, and whether they were going to vote in the Democratic or Republican primary. Opinions were solicited on Democratic and Republican presidential candidates, which candidate respondents would vote for if the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary were being held that day, which candidate was most likely to make the right decision on various issues such as Social Security, which issues were most important to respondents, whether respondents had attended any presidential campaign events, and which candidate they thought would win the presidential election. Respondents were also asked about Bill Clinton's involvement in Hillary Clinton's campaign, whether other Democratic nominees had been attacking Hillary Clinton, how important it was that the candidate they supported spent a lot of time in New Hampshire, how important the results of the Iowa Caucus would be when deciding who to vote for in January's primary, whether respondents attended the New Hampshire Democratic Caucus in 2004, and whether New Hampshire should always hold the nation's first presidential caucus. Additional topics included abortion, illegal immigration in New Hampshire, whether Iran is a threat to the United States, whether wages in New Hampshire were generally keeping up with the cost of living, terrorism, the war in Iraq, and ownership of a firearm. Demographic information includes sex, age, race, education level, household income, marital status, religious preference, frequency of religious attendance, labor union membership, type of residential area (e.g., urban or rural), political party affiliation, political philosophy, voter registration status and participation history, and the presence of children in the household under 18.
