Since 1972, no Democratic candidate finishing lower than second in the New Hampshire primary has gone on to win the nomination.
‘I'll probably take a hit here.': Biden faces big test in New Hampshire, where he’s struggling in pollsGILFORD, N.H. – Joe Biden has frequently cited his electability over President Donald Trump as a chief selling point of his campaign. But on the eve of the New Hampshire primary, the former vice president is battling for his political future in a state that has a history of determining who the nominee will be.
Biden came to the Granite State after a disappointing fourth-place finish in the Iowa Democratic caucuses last week. Even he conceded he won't be in the winner's circle when the Granite State finishes counting ballots in its first-in-the-nation primary. He's second behind Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and only slightly ahead of former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg , who's eating into the former vice president's centrist base thanks to millions of dollars spent on television ads blanketing the country.
Biden has been sliding in New Hampshire polling, surpassed by two other center-left candidates, first former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and more recently Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar. Sanders remains the front-runner in New Hampshire. Dante Scala, a political science professor at the University of New Hampshire, said there's a"good chance" Biden will finish as low as fifth behind Sanders, Buttigieg, Klobuchar and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Biden's supporters said the race will turn to his favor once the campaign turns to states with large minority populations such as South Carolina.
