Candidates Tussle For New Hampshire Votes

The remaining White House hopefuls have fanned out across New Hampshire in a last-ditch bid to grab votes ahead of the state's primary contest.

Voters in the Granite state go to the polls on Tuesday morning in the nation's second presidential nominating contest.

Eleven candidates remain in the hunt following the exodus that took place after last week's Iowa caucuses.

On the Republican side, Donald Trump , who holds a commanding 17 point lead in the latest average of New Hampshire polls, is hoping to rebound from his second place finish in the Hawkeye state.

The billionaire businessman traded his usual large-scale rallies for a more intimate town hall with some 230 people on Monday morning. He will cap the night with a rally at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester.

Meanwhile, Ted Cruz - fresh off his win in Iowa - faces a steeper climb in New Hampshire, where he sits third in the polls behind Marco Rubio.

The Florida senator , who received the largest bump after his third place finish in Iowa, is spending his last day in New Hampshire fending off attacks from Chris Christie, Jeb Bush and John Kasich.

The trio of governors contend the 44-year-old senator lacks the experience to run the Oval Office.

All three likely need strong finishes in New Hampshire to withstand pressure from party leaders who will want to narrow the GOP field as Super Tuesday approaches.

On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton has closed the gap on Bernie Sanders' once-commanding lead in the Granite state, but the Vermont Senator still holds a nearly 13 point lead.
