Most polls in the state will open tomorrow at 7 a.m.-7 p.m. EST.
Cruz, a senator from Texas, won in Iowa, but is considered an underdog in New Hampshire. And while caucuses are hosted by the individual political parties, primaries such as New Hampshire’s are hosted by the state. On the Republican side, Donald Trump has topped every single poll in New Hampshire since July.
The poll, released by Monmouth University Sunday, showed Trump with support from 30 percent of likely Republican Party voters in the Granite State. Kasich and Bush eye moderates and older voters.
Sanders told a crowd of about 500 people in Nashua that his call to eradicate income inequality and level the economic playing field for lower- and middle-class workers was resonating.
Forty-nine percent of Republican respondents told pollsters they have completely decided on which candidate they will vote for in Tuesday’s election, while another 31 percent said they have a strong preference but could change their mind, 12 percent only have a slight preference and 9 percent are undecided.
“I hope you’re angry enough to get out and vote”, Trump said during a town hall at a Lions Club in Londonderry.
“Voters across the country and especially here in New Hampshire got to hear me say repeatedly the truth: that Barack Obama is trying to redefine the role of government in our country and America’s role in the world”, Rubio said Monday on “CBS This Morning”. Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said over the weekend that there was “a special place in hell” for women who don’t help women, while writer and famed feminist Gloria Steinem suggested women backing Sanders were doing so to meet boys. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., answers a question as Republican presidential candidate, businessman Donald Trump listens during a Republican presidential primary debate hosted by ABC News at the St. Anselm College Saturday, Feb. 6, 2016, in Manchester, N.H.
Christie sought to capitalize on his debate effort to batter Rubio, a first-term senator, as unprepared for the presidency. “I think there could be four or five tickets now out of New Hampshire because the race is so unsettled now”.
The billionaire also swatted away Bush’s claim to being the only GOP candidate willing to stand toe-to-toe with Trump on the debate stage.
For Republican Govs. Chris Christie, John Kasich and Jeb Bush, the task is to make sure the closing argument here isn’t their last.
