CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama has won New Hampshire, the state where he suffered a humbling loss on his way to the nomination.

The win gives Obama a clean sweep of the five New England states.

Obama defeated Republican John McCain on Tuesday to claim the state's four electoral votes.

The call was based on an analysis of voter interviews conducted for The Associated Press by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International and early vote returns.

Obama lost the state's Democratic primary in January despite leading in polls. For McCain, Tuesday's loss was his first in a state that twice had launched him toward the GOP nomination.
