N.H. Slowly Trending Blue in Voter Registration

Andy Smith, the Director of the Survey Center at the University of New Hampshire, is reporting a gradual increase in Democratic voters within the state.

The slide from red to blue is slow, and Smith anticipates New Hampshire still will be a battleground state in the 2012 presidential election. But come 2016, the state likely will be voting Democratic, Smith predicted.

"The kind of shift we are seeing is less than 1 percent a year," he said. But in 10 years, we could be a "pretty solid Democratic state."
