MANCHESTER, N.H. (WHDH) - This time tomorrow, some of the voting places in New Hampshire will already be open. And our final tracking poll gives us a last look at where the candidates stand right now.
Watch 7News: mobile / desktop
The Republicans are the big story...Because we know who's on top, but that's about all we know. The Democratic race is much easier to predict:
Bernie Sanders is now beating Hillary Clinton by 16 points- 56% to 40%, after he lost a point overnight, and she kept what she had.
Undecided is up to 4%, an increase of two points since yesterday.

The tracking poll shows Sanders is too far ahead of Clinton for her to catch him by Tuesday.
All she can do now is try to cut the margin her loss..
But the Republican race is more complicated, and the outcome is a mystery.
Donald Trump stays in the top spot, with 34%, after dropping two points overnight..

Then, a tie for second--at 13%--after Marco Rubio lost a point, and there was no change in Ted Cruz's support.
John Kasich and Jeb Bush also are now tied, at 10%. Kasich gained one point...While Bush held steady.

I’d say Jeb loses if he doesn’t finish 1st. All the money he spent and a liberal state in the NE...Jeb needs to carry the Rino vote. If he loses the Rino territory to Trump then it’s a loss.
If Cruz shaves DT’ lead down to ten points I will be happy and the pollsters will be jumping off roofs. Get the impression the 26% evanvelicals are being undersampled here.
Yep he’s still pimping Rubio.
But my take on it is as follows. I think he would like Cruz, but he thinks Rubio may win so he wants to mend fences now before it’s too late and then GOP loses to Hillary.
Just my take on it.
If Trump wins by double digits in a large field, historically that has been described as a huge win.
I know your rooting for Ted Millhouse Cruz and he may get 3rd place.
I understand Tricky Ted is making less than honest ROBOCALLS in SC. I hope someone here gets audio of the calls so we can see who his is going after, and what he is saying.
Amen!!! Cruz is moving up!!!!!!!!
I am skeptical of these polls that super inflate trump in order to say “he is falling” These polls are easily contrived. They really should reveal who funded that particular poll for research into who they really are. I am for trump. If he wins by 1 vote — I will be thrilled .
Like Iowa this one is about weeding out the losers. Last stand for Kasich and Christie. Possibly Jeb. Then we get down to the final 3.
2nd place would be HUGE for Cruz in New Hampshire. It would leave Cruz and Trump effectively tied for first place!!!
Rubio had so much potential, and he totally blew it with the gang of 8 bill.
Rush is doing a lament, I suppose. He’ll get over it.
Sadly, RushRINO fails to see Rubio is pro-amnesty for 40+ MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS...just like Hellry.
Amnesty would destroy America by creating a permanent leftwing socialist voting block. Forever.
Either RushRINO is not very intelligent or he’s on TEAM ESTABLISHMENT RINO for future rewards.
We will overcome!
“So your argument is: Sure cruz is a sleazeball, but he is really not very good at it?”
No, I believe Cruz’s description of what happened is correct, his staffers got ahead of the story and therefore he apologized as any gentleman would. Having written Harry Reid’s only biography, I know what dirty politics looks like, I am still hoping he gets Reid indicted. Whatever happened in Iowa was by comparison a mosquito bite, it clearly wasn’t pre-planned but spur of the moment (about the level of an offsides in football, a 5 yard penalty). Ben Carson is clearly not acting like a serious candidate would, taking time off for book tours and doing his laundry, so Carson left himself open to attack. Moreover, Trump has already played some nasty tricks of his own, so there are no 100% clean politicians.
But nice deflection anyway. You were (as everyone else I’ve asked) unable to cite a single Carson supporter who changed their vote. That really has to gnaw at you, that you are caterwauling about a nothing burger.
When people get way up there on the success ladder there’s usually something that can be used against them to get them to change their thinking.
That Cruzbots feel the need to tell the world their candidate is not a “ Cheater”, pretty much tells you the state of his campaign.

He is well connected and has had the best reporting and interviews this election cycle bar-none. I don't even listen to El-Rushbo and if Kuhner goes National, he is going to seriously challenge him.
He is in Manchester in a press booth remote today.
A long time NH political wonk who he trust spoke with him off the record and noted don't be surprised if Cruise has a upset tomorrow night and I think he said Kasich may surprise as well.
It will be interesting to see if this "wonk's" predictions are true Wends. morning...
Did you watch fox this morning. Out of the first 3 hours thay have probably 90 actual transmission of program ( the rest commercials) Out of that 90 minutes they had at least 40 minutes of the champion of common core and illegal aliens seeking love-— Yes Jeb Bush.
What had happened with Karl Rove and Roger Aisles was an epiphany right after the Saturday debate. Rubio is finished. Not only is amnesty boy on the wrong side of truth but he can’t talk. Christie did great.
Now the phones were ringing. The answer was “PROP UP BUSH as if people want him to win.” So. in summary, it was “bush bush bush” this morning as the new message of the panicked establishment. GO TRUMP!!
We will see tomorrow night, I hope the weather isn’t a factor I want to see a record set in NH caucus voting.
I think Trump has brought more interest to these primaries than ever, as seen in the debate ratings. The last debate had way more viewers because Trump attended.
We need a debate where you need at least 10 percent to get an invite.
I only want one more debate since its only making the networks rich, and they have only given liberal networks a chance to attack our guys.
We have the votes going on now and we all know where everyone running stands on issues. Time for voters to choose. The vote is the poll that counts.
I am actually thinking this was a non story that was lapped up by the media to stop any momentum Cruz had coming out of Iowa. Fox is still talking about it everyday all day.
