over that last contest in iowa, as the next one looms — the primary is in new hampshire tomorrow, jane o'brienthat they can be donald trump? yes and talking of donald trump, we know he can really steal the show. —— beat donald trump. look at this. this is a home—grown local crowd and he has brought the circus to town. the line for people trying to get in to this rally started last night. it's been going all the way around the block. people are still coming in. he's expecting thousands and thousands of supporters and this on the eve of what is a huge calendar event for the democrats. this is the first primary in the nation. this is where the they're supposed to be choosing the person who will be going on to fight donald trump and look. the campaign office of pete buttigieg. pete buttigieg is second in the polls right now in new hampshire. bernie sanders is leading. he's a clearfavourite hampshire. bernie sanders is leading. he's a clear favourite at the moment, but you know this is a wide—open race. we don't know what's gonna happen and new hampshire is a volatile state. how do we understand wh

jane o'brien joined the search for those who might be open to persuasion. hi. how are you?de up their minds. you can send out thousands of pieces of mail, you can send out a tweet that reaches a million people but, ultimately, face to face conversation is still what people like. voters don't live on twitter, they live behind their doors. around half of new hampshire voters are registered independent but can still vote in the democratic primary. they could decide the outcome. because of a couple of trends in our politics we don't talk to them, we really focus on making people afraid of the other party instead of wanting to come to our party. and campaigns really focus on who they know will vote, now they can do a youtube pre—roll ad instead of doing a tv ad to everybody and that means a lot of these people are getting left out of the process and we need to talk to them. canvassers know exactly who they are targeting thanks to apps that reveal personal data and likely preferences. so we know the woman who lives in this house voted in the last two general elections but has nev
