THE FINAL POLL POSITION GOING INTO TUESDAY'S NH PRIMARY
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Four years ago, the state offered Trump his first primary victory and helped catapult him to the White House. But Trump narrowly lost New Hampshire to Democrat Hillary Clinton in the November general election.

New Hampshire is viewed as the most-likely Clinton state to swing toward Trump.
