President Barack Obama has reached 50 percent and leads Mitt Romney by 4 points in New Hampshire, according to a poll released Monday, putting the incumbent in a solid position to claim the state's potentially election-clinching four electoral votes.

The latest poll from the University of New Hampshire shows half of likely Granite State voters supporting Obama, while Romney trails with 46 percent. In UNH's poll last week, the two were deadlocked at 48 percent.

UNH conducted its latest poll Nov. 1-4 using live phone interviews with 789 likely New Hampshire voters. It has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.

The PollTracker Average shows Obama with a 3.5-point lead in New Hampshire, which is leaning toward the president on the TPM Electoral Scoreboard.
