“Republican candidate”;http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/02/02/us/cruz-trump-rubio-nomination-paths.html Donald Trump is leading the polls, despite a second-place finish in the Iowa caucuses.

But Bush, who once worked closely with Rubio when the two were leaders in the Florida Statehouse, said Rubio’s debate performance reiterated standing concerns with his former colleague.
Trump did get in a shot at Cruz during a massive rally in Manchester Monday night.
A recent survey shows 85 per cent of Democratic voters under 35 support Senator Sanders as would 84 per cent of people who’ve never voted in a primary. “If, looking back on my life, I can say that I ground Marco Rubio into the dirt, I will die a happy man”. But he also took aim at his fellow governors as they battle for numerous same voters in an effort to remain relevant beyond Tuesday. The senator finished second to Clinton in the leadoff Iowa caucuses by the narrowest of margins. At a campaign event in Salem, New Hampshire, Trump responded to multiple unrelated questions by going after the former Florida governor.
He now stands sixth in the field of Republican hopefuls with a 5 percent average in New Hampshire polls as compiled by Real Clear Politics. A Monmouth poll that ended pre-debate on Saturday basically had Rubio, Kasich, Bush, and Cruz in a four-way tie.
In the Democratic race, Sanders tops Clinton 61 percent to 35 percent, an uptick for Sanders since the last update to the tracking poll, while Clinton holds steady.
Unpredictable and known for last-minute decisions, New Hampshire voters had been expected to help winnow the crowded Republican primary, clarifying which of the candidates would emerge as the strongest alternative to front-runners Trump and Texas Sen.
So Kasich is the most likely Marco-beater tomorrow night, with Jeb Bush a decent possibility as well.
Clinton was shouldering renewed troubles amid talk of a possible campaign reshuffling. Around the rest of the state, they’re expecting a record turnout, snow or no snow. Even if neither candidate ultimately becomes their party’s nominee, those who do will have to reckon with the voter frustration they’ve tapped into.
If we get to brokered conventions this summer, who remains standing?
Campaigning across the north-eastern state with her husband, former USA president Bill Clinton, and daughter Chelsea, she worked to flip Mr Sanders’ favoured critique against her by claiming that he too had taken money from Wall Street – if only indirectly.

Yet Mr Sanders passed up all that on Monday, instead telling supporters in Nashua: “We have come a long way in the last nine months”. Behind Clinton’s upbeat demeanor, however, are growing concerns within her campaign about her standing with young people, who are flocking to Sanders.
