sanders is number one but weaken weakening. he gets 55% after losing 3 percentage points overnight while clinton with 40% gained 4 points since yesterday. unsee sided 4% that's down a point. the tracking poll shows clinton clinton's dramatic rise. see is now just 15 points behind sanders. she tailed him by 31 when he began polling this week. sanders has lost 16 points. that's more than half of the lead he had. compared to the democrats turbo charged race, the republicans relatively speaking are in neutral. there was very little change for the g.o.p. candidates overnight. donald trump is right where he has been in first but he lost another two points. no change for marco rubio still at 15%, keeping him in second place. and ted in third has been at 14% for days. john kasich gained a point tying him with jeb bush at 8%.

the bottom of the republican pack. chris christie, ben carson, criminally fiorina, all maintained the support they had. the change in the republican track hey seem small but it could become big because for the second day in a row, donald trump lost two points which dropped him just a little bit closer to marco rubio and ted cruz. bottom line, donald trump looks like he will win the g.o.p. gold medal here but several candidates are competing for the silver and bronze and hilary clinton surge is the story of the day. even if she doesn't over take sanders, a strong second place finish could finish the senator from vermont. live in new hampshire, andy hiller, 7 news. >> anchor: coming up, a crash course on the cape. a bus goes up in flames after a fiery collision with the truck.

>> anchor: snowfall tallies about ten to 11 informs of snow. worcester 11 inches of snow. lynn 7 inches of snow. haverhill at ten. quincy 9.2 officially boston logan 6.the. hopkinton at 6.2. elsewhere the shadings of blue indicating where we had general generally about five to ten informs of snow. closer to the coastline, the numbers weren't as high as they were in the worcester hill but a heavier, wetter snow. that's why we had concern in the issues in canton because it was just a very heavy, wet snow. these numbers much smaller than numbers we were showing you last year. those were storms that had all sorts of arctic air and so there was a massive fluff factor but this year in the el nino winter hard to find arctic air. you can get snowstorm though but usually these snowstorms there

that's we saw beautiful pictures of the snow clinging to the trees but also clinging to power lines. boston snow for the season 17 informs running about 8 inches behind normal. worcester 22 inches of snow thus far about 15 inches below normal normal. done for the snow. boston worcester providence and haverhill but still snowing right now out toward hyannis as well as brewster and chatham and truro. that will slide away from the cape over the next couple of hours. then skies begin to clear out the numbers right now no arctic air that pours in behind the storm. temperatures are near 30 so again the slush that we have out there now will freeze up overnight tonight but it's not going to lock down and be cold for the next couple days, which is what we were seeing last year and that snow blitz where you get two feet of snow and then it's below zero for several days days. we'll melt snow tomorrow. tomorrow a great winter day. lots of sun. 35 to 40. much the same on sunday. awesome for skiing, sledding, snowmobiling with temperatures in the upper 30's to lower 40's. early next week, there is the

tricky though because there will be two storms on the chess board and they both want to make the next move. but they both can't make the next move and so what will happen is they will probably end up ruining the party for each other and so we'll have a could you evansville days of snow showers and after a few days it might have to be shoveling and plowing but at this time it does not look like a blockbuster but that could change. we'll coup you updated. the boston celtics enter tonight's show down against the eastern conferencelying caviliers with wins in ten of their last 13 games while the matchup represents a great opportunity for the celtics to show exactly where they stand among the league's elite. brad stevens is trying to treat it like it's still one of the 82 82. no matter if we play cleveland or somebody else the next game is all the most important. we have to go in there and try to handle business. we know it has to be a hostile environment. they are a great team but we're not going to back down from anybody .

their defense has been great versus where we struggle obvious obviously the offensive rebound rebounding and it has to be clicking . >> anchor: bruins making a roster move today assigning forward to providence.
