Hi OnPolitics readers! The critical New Hampshire primary is here, a contest that has long wielded the power to make or break presidential candidates.

Most polls in the Granite State close at 7 p.m., and all eyes are on the Granite State's Republican primary as former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley tries to topple former President Donald Trump.

What are Haley's odds? The former United Nations ambassadordid start well, winning all six votes in Dixville Notch. But she faces long odds. A Boston Globe/Suffolk University poll taken Sunday and Monday showed Trump leading Haley by a whopping 22 points, 60%-38%.  

Is Biden on the ballot? On the Democratic side, President Joe Biden's name won't technically appear on the ballot, but that doesn't mean voters can't support him in the first-in-the-nation primary.
