This was about Obama, not about McCain.

As for Bush:

"In New Hampshire, where independents constitute 37% of the likely GOP electorate – by far the highest proportion in the three primary states – just a modest majority (55%) approves of Bush's job performance. Roughly twice as many likely GOP voters in New Hampshire disapprove of Bush as in Iowa or South Carolina (35% vs. 16%, 19%).

Despite the strong approval ratings for Bush among Republican voters in Iowa and South Carolina, however, there is a widespread desire for a candidate who will take the country in a different direction rather than one who will continue Bush's policies, Majorities of Republican voters in each of those states – as well as 60% of likely Republican voters nationally – say they prefer a Republican presidential candidate who will take the country in a different direction.

Still, an even greater percentage of likely voters in New Hampshire's Republican primary favor a GOP candidate who will pursue a different course from Bush's. Fully two-thirds of likely Republican voters in New Hampshire (66%) express this view, compared with 53% of likely Republican voters in Iowa and 51% in South Carolina. "
