He and the rest of the field slushed around snowy New Hampshire and flooded the political talk shows, directing their closing arguments to the large number of undecided voters who pollsters say will decide the race.
In the week since Clinton eked out a win in the Iowa caucuses, her campaign has worked aggressively to lower expectations for New Hampshire, where Sanders has maintained a sizable lead despite Clinton’s victory here eight years ago against then Illinois-Sen, Barack Obama. “Shout it out because I don’t want to”, adding “She said he’s a pussy”. It looked bad to politicos and journalists, but how did the voters of New Hampshire see it? He says nasty things and I put him down and he goes away like a little sheep. He placed third, surprisingly close to Trump, making him the hope of establishment Republicans looking to back a candidate more presentable than Trump or Cruz.

Sen. Bernie Sanders had a 20-point lead in last week’s Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, conducted by Marist College. Isn’t that amusing? I don’t get along that well with the rich. I don’t even like the rich people that much.
Trump holds 31%, down two points from the February 3-6 release, but within the poll’s margin of sampling error.
While Sanders’ victory means he’s assured of a majority of the state’s pledged delegates, Clinton remains ahead in the overall delegate count due to support from superdelegates, the party officials who can support the candidate of their choice at the convention.
The poll includes interviews with a random sample of 887 adult residents of New Hampshire, including 362 who plan to vote in the Republican presidential primary and 363 who say they plan to participate in the Democratic primary.

Encouraged by Marco Rubio’s stumbles, the Republicans’ second-tier candidates are seeing fresh hope for survival as they sprint to the finish line in New Hampshire.
Mr Kasich who has barely registered nationally, has played to New Hampshire residents concerns about the economy with a promise to erase the U.S. budget deficit without shredding the safety net for poor Americans.
