Rubio: There’s a reason everyone is attacking me

He continued, “I have both won elections I was supposed to lose, and I have lost elections that I was supposed to win, and what that means is you never know”.

The last New Hampshire poll from the field, by Emerson College, shows Trump at 31% and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in second place at 16%.

“We need a President with a steady hand”.

Low polls numbers in the state where Christie has staked his presidential campaign have dogged the governor for weeks in the lead-up to the primary.

Sanders and Trump are the two candidates who also enjoy the most support from independent voters, according to polls.

Towns across the Granite State are decked out with signs as campaigns scramble for last minute support. “Our disappointment tonight is not on you, it’s on me”, Rubio said.

The 60-second ad, “Steady Hand, will air throughout the state”.

Today is the New Hampshire primary, where for the first time during this Presidential campaign, Americans will be casting their ballot for the candidate of their choice; in either the Democratic or Republican primary. A somber New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who had dedicated a significant amount of time to New Hampshire, lagged behind and said it was time to “take a deep breath”.

“It’s validated my love of country and my belief that we’re on the verge of greatness, just listening to people talk”, Bush said of how the campaign has affected him.

On the Republican side, businessman Donald Trump is still leading in New Hampshire despite his failure to snatch victory from Ted Cruz in the Iowa Caucus. “There’s no reason to go to SC and sit in a hotel room and do that”.

Professor Smith said he was waiting to find out if any of the moderate Republicans becomes the establishment choice going forward. “He does not have a viable path to the nomination, and he certainly does not have a viable path in SC”.
