Americans in the state of New Hampshire are just hours away from picking which candidates they want to be the next President.
The vote, or Primary, is seen as an important indication of which Democrat and Republican will go head-to-head for the White House.
The billionaire businessman Donald Trump is hoping to make up for coming second in the Iowa Caucus a week ago.
Nick Harper reports from Manchester in New Hampshire.

The man to beat, Donald Trump booked the biggest venue in town for his Monday night rally. A final push to get out the vote.
SOT - Trump

Trump leads in the polls - but he did in Iowa - and ended up missing out to Ted Cruz.
Here Cruz is battling for second with Marco Rubio, in a still crowded field of eight Republican candidates.
In the 2-horse Democrat race, Bernie Sanders appears to have an unassailed lead over Hillary Clinton.

But voters here are notoriously fickle. Often not making up their minds until they mark their ballot paper.

- "I think there's a lot of options out there still and I still haven't landed on who I'm going to vote for yet."
- "I'm going to vote for Bernie Sanders just because he's the only one that seems to be wanting change."
- "I think that Hillary has a better chance of getting things accomplished with a Congress that may or may not agree with her."

Professor of politics at Manchester's St. Anselm's College, Chris Galdieri, says the outcome on this primary can have a big influence on the race.

"The primary and caucus results tell us for the first time how these candidates really fare when they come face to face with actual voters who have to choose among them. And that's important information for people in later states and for party leaders who are still trying to make up their minds between candidates."
TAKE VO
Polls are open from 6am until 7pm. The results, a few hours after that, could do much to mould the race ahead.
