we're told that the undeclared voters, at least the white collar undeclared voters might benefit john kasich. the blue collar undeclared voters might benefit donald trump. bernie sanders gets the bump according to analyst on the democratic side. >> all right, thanks very much. we'll stay in close touch with you as well. >>> whether it's the turnout, the exiting polling, the republican race for second place or the possibility for something unexpected happening, john king, host of cnn's "inside politics," gloria borger and mike rogers, david gergen, and amanda carpenter. he's a trump supporter, she not so much. also sanders supporter and obama critic bill press who's a cnn political commentator and finally not just because today is mardi gras, a democratic party official as well, cnn political commentator, donna brazile. there's so much to watch for. in terms of the republican side, there is a real fight for second and third right now. >> yeah. i think there is. and that's what makes this evening so fascinating because if you assume that because donald trump has been first in the last,

was undeclared. i never knew what ballot he would pick up the day of the until he -- election until he walked into the voting booth. him. was married to that's the power of being able to actually try to persuade those people in the middle. of the reasons why, unlike iowa, a lot of the candidates have to sort of moderate their message and we are very different from iowa. you heard from smith, on the air me every thursday, last week, and what he was telling you about iowa is there's a lot more evangelical christians in iowa, so the republicans have to way. a certain the democrats are fairly liberal in iowa. but in new hampshire, it's a very interesting mix. always -- >> the numbers in new hampshire, 383,000, as about of the end of december 2015. 261,000.ns, democrats, 229,000. we're showing those numbers to our viewer. the headline that we showed our viewers earlier in the washington post, in the undecideds easily can become the dieders. a -- the deciders. >> the power is there. >> let's go to john in

you have these undeclareds. most people around the country don't know as you do, senator, you can be undeclared. you sign up and walk in and vote and the minute you leave, you can unregister and go back to be undeclared. 90% of the undeclareds the last time voted republican. what do you expect we'll get and with so many do you think they will be the key to whoever could win or come in second or third on tuesday? >> i think undeclareds are key and they have the opportunity to vote for sanders if they want to. some undeclareds who voted in the republican primary last time will likely go vote in the democrat primary. we do hear some of that. it's not in the polling it shows. look, who knows. right mao i think the main thing is don't take any voter for granted. of all people bob smith knows what polls are. i was predicted the loser in 1996 and was sworn in as a u.s. senator. it's all over the place right now. we're competitive. we want our country back. ted cruz can do that. he's a leader. he's intelligent. he knows

remain undeclared, you can reregister at another desk to remain undeclared.for your guy. you can't get more free voting practices than that here in new hampshire. another interesting thing, this is a sample ballot we've got here. there are 30 names running for president on the republican side. 28 on the democratic side. if you pay $1,000 to the secretary of state of new hampshire, you can run for president in new hampshire. they have got to count all the votes for all these people once these polls close, wolf. >> interesting. a little nugget over there. we'll see what happens at the top of the hour, brian. thank you very much. taking a close look, the initial numbers, 3% of the democratic precincts reporting now. >> very, very early results. these communities in the northern part of the state, they're the ones that voted at midnight last night. what we're watching for really is where most of the people live down here, no surprise early results, concord, the capital city, a little over 3% of the population, surprise with 10% of the vote to see bernie sanders i

now, part of what makes new hampshire politics so interesting for many, is how many undeclared voters they have by some estimates, 40 to 45% of voters are undeclared, and what that means is that those voters can come here today, to polling site like this, and they can decide which primary do they want to vote in. do they want to vote in the republican primary, vote in the democratic primary, then, and here is the key, they can still leave undeclared, and that's interesting, because i've been seeing a lot of people as i stand here, i've been seeing a lot of people double check and make sure, hey, i can still leave here undeclared. but it is very important to voters here in new hampshire, i keep hearing it time, time again. so all of these folks here will decide whether they want to vote republican or democrat. here's however the other thing. if you are already registered, republican, if you are already registered democrat, you have to vote in that primary, but again, 40, 45% of voters declaring themselves undeclared. so that's what makes new hampshire policy so interesting t could real

he was undeclared.er knew what ballot he would pick on the day of the election until he walked into the voting booth. i was married to him. so it always surprised me. but that is power. being able to try to persuade those people in the middle, it's one of the reasons why, unlike iowa, a lot of the candidates have to sort of moderate their message. we are very different from iowa. you heard last week, what steffen schmidt was telling you about iowa is there are a lot more evangelical christians in iowa. republicans have to sound a certain way. democrats are fairly liberal in iowa. but in new hampshire, it's an interesting mix. host: the numbers in new hampshire, undeclared about 383,000 as of the end of december 2015. republicans, 261,000, democrats 229,000. the headline we showed our viewers earlier from the "washington post," in new hampshire, the undecideds easily can become the deciders. guest: the powers there. mexico, good new morning. had one basic thought, thank you for c-span. i watch every morn

you said you were undeclared, then registered republican. why republican this time? >> i tend to be more republican than i am democrat. i've been -- i really like to be undecided because i like to vote for the person, not necessarily the party. >> who did you vote for? >> i voted for christie. >> what made you decide christie? >> i actually like what he stands for. i think he's honest. i think he's trustworthy. think he has a lot of experience and i think he's the guy. >> what's interesting in new hampshire, with so many it u undeclared voters, a lot of people are curious, when did you decide? >> i've kind of been going back and forth over the last couple of days and today i just decided he wallas the guy. >> kelly, thank you. brooke, here's a sample ballot. 30 people are running on the republican ticket. the democrat, 28 of them. you can pay $1,000 to the secretary of state and get on the ballot. that's how free flowing the democracy here in new hampshire is. >> brian todd, you are bringing it today, my friend, between the ballots, the traffic, the lines. i tip my h

they say they're independent, undeclared. they ask which way they want to vote, they give them a pink ballot if they want to go republican. a blue ballot if they're a democratic voter. they go into the booths over there. we've timed it. it takes the average voter here roughly 35 seconds to move in and out. doesn't take long at all. a simple process. they come in, and there are two tabulation machines behind that gentleman there. they will put their votes into the tabulation machine, and those will be read out in a printout later on. my photojournalist and i will get out of the way of voters trying to check out here. jamie, let's move you slightly to your left. he was -- here's what they do when they come out of the voting booth. if they want to reregister as an undeclared, they do it at the desk. decide which way to vote, tell them. go in and vote and reregister as an undeclared voter here. we are told that the undeclared independent voters far outnumber democrats and republicans here in new hampshire. so that is a critical s

>> listen, undeclared voters -- and i'm one, you see i'm an undeclared voter.ore i came here. undeclared voters want to go where the action is in new hampshire. right now if hillary clinton is that far behind from bernie sanders, the action is more on the republican side. so you could see those independents maybe swing more to the republican side. that's the beauty of new hampshire. they've got a choice last minute like i did. i walked into the polling station, decided which party i wanted to vote in, voted, and then redeclared as undecided voter. >> so patty, we needing to to an uncomfortable discussion right now. there are stories coming out about the clinton campaign, tlurms there could be a staff -- rumors that there could be a staff shakeup. that bill and hillary clinton are unsatisfied with their campaign staff. there were issues in 2008 when you were working on the campaign, as well. i guess we don't know whether they're true or not. we know that they're going to take stock after tomorrow, we're told, or tomorrow. but what does it tell you that these sto

jenna: are they registered independents but are they simply undeclared. so these are not -- they are not even saying they are independent. they are just saying they are free. somewhat you have are sort of a housekeeping designation. a lot of these people who decline to state, who are undeclared think themselves as republicans or democrats. that's why they are distinct from a few months from now we start talking about people who consider themselves politically independent. we are talking about 44% of all registered voters are declining to state or undeclared. some portion of those are really republicans and democrats who don't want to register as such. but they think of themselves that way and vote that way. >> we were listening to a woman speak with martha maccallum dug her show and she said i'm look at kasich or clinton. it wasn't along party lines she was looking at the candidates. she can decide last minute to vote for either party if she is in part that undeclared voter section. what are you going to be watching as we are getting the numbers throughou

o'malley folks in a third and something called undeclared. they meet as well. but, for example, if martin o'm!lley can't receive at least 15% support at this site, his candidates supporters can go to another candidate or to undeclared. thisontinues until only viable candidates and t t undeclared group have at least 15% remain. we take a closer look at what local candidates jeb bush and gop voters. nbc 6 newsws >>> now, let's go to chuck todd who has a look at what it will take and what a win means in the hawk eye state. >> it's finally here. we've been taing about iowa now for more than a year. the big unknown today is turnout. who shows up. if you tell us who shows up, how many of them show up, we have a pretty good idea of what is going to w. average if we see an surge and interest matches the media saturation, that givesesernie sanders to pull the upset for hillary clinton and that givesonald trump a shot to not just win here, but maybe sl to this republican nomination. it's going to be quite a fight. >> yes, it will. that's chuck todd. you can find everythi

really the undeclared voters the wild card, even up to the end, right? >> reporter: yeah, those undeclared voters are central in this state. it's more than 40%. more than four out of every ten voters in this state is officially undeclared. how it works at the polling place today, they show up to vote like any one who is registered with a party affiliation. they get to the front of the line they say i'd either like a republican ballot or democratic. they cast their votes as they choose on that ballot. as soon as the time they leave, they can return themselves to undeclared status. so for just that few minutes when they are voting they are declared with a party affiliation, democrat or republican. they cast their vote in that primary, and then as soon as the time they leave, they can restore themselves as undeclared voters, again four out of every ten voters here in the granite state are part of that wild card segment which is really what the candidates have been going after here in the final days of campaigning. >> a large chunk of voters. george spencer

>> reporter: a lot of undeclared voters here, jake.e broken mostly for the republicans from what they have told us, but here's how passionate the voters here in new hampshire are. they expected records here. i think they're going to get records. here in hudson, this is the hudson community center. look at this, lines out the door. it's been like this all day long. there have been lines of cars stretching up to a mile down the street. they're bringing their kids. this is 7-year-old javeon coming with his grandfather to witness some of the voting. very, very passionate voters here. you mention the undeclareds. they have been a dominant force at least here in this precinct. what they do is come over to this table, they'll say whether they are republican or democrat but if they are undeclared, they'll say that and be asked which way you want to vote. they'll be handed a pink ballot for the republicans, a blue ballot for the democrats. then they'll go vote. my team and i timed it out. the average voter takes about 35 seconds to vote. then t

the largest voting block in new hampshire is undeclared. therefore, you never know where these people are going to vote. they can take a democrat ballot or a republican ballot. you just don't know. >> finally, if you're looking for prediction about who will win, look at new hampshire. laconia, new hampshire. population 6,000. their accuracy of picking democratic and republican candidates have the perfect mix of upper income and working class votesman. >> mike, thanks. donald trump facing fresh fire over his use of some foul language. will trump repeating a vulgar word shouted out at a rally, it's not the most inflammatory thing he said. >> you're not allowed to say and i ne expect to hear that from you again. she said i never expect to hear that from you again. she said he's a [ bleep ]. we're going to have businesses that use to be in new hampshire that are now in mexico come back to new hampshire and you can tell them to go [ bleep ] themselves. >> presidential candidate donald trump joining me now on the phone. mr. trump, good to have yo

many voters are undeclared independents. they'll come in here, they'll say they're independent, they'll be asked which affiliation they want to choose just for this vote and then they're handed either a republican ballot in pink or democratic one in blue. the average voter then goes over here to the booth. the average one takes about 35 seconds to vote. not long. then they run them through a tabulator that's right there. we mentioned the independent voters are critical. i've got one right here, debby headstrom. you're undeclared. you said you went republican. why republican this time? >> because i really believe in all the values that donald trump says what he's going to do for this country, and i think that -- for us to build up the military and our defense is a big priority with the security of the country and of the world. >> a big question a lot of people have -- because a lot of states don't have this dynamic of a lot of undeclared voters. when did you change your mind, decide republican this time? >> quite a long time

, undeclared an choose to vote for either party day of. >> you don't know whether they are going to pull republican ballot, or bernie has a lot of independent support, or pull a democratic ballot for bernie. >> for those working to get every single vote for their candidate like sanders supporter here, these final hours point to the seriousness of new hampshire voters on the front lines politically for more than a year now. >> we didn't always live in new hampshire. we've been here 10 years so it was a culture shock when we moved here. but it's an interesting process. >> the way the people have embraced the political system and they enjoy this time of year, and they cherish it. >> reporter: we mentioned those undeclared voters, they represent four out of every 10 voters here in the granite state. talk about a ground game, many of the campaigns were offering free rides to would be voters who had trouble getting from their house over to the polling location. reporting live in manchester, new hampshire, george spencer, "nbc 10 news." >>> thank you, george. ikea is issuing a recall, coming up

undeclared, 389,000 undeclared.ans they can walk in and essentially register on the spot, right, on a primary tuesday? >> that's right, and i'm one of those undeclared voters. what's cool about it is i get mail from both sides. i get between eight and ten pieces of mail every day, and i'm talking about really expensive, elaborate pieces of mail. i got one that looked like a handwritten note from barbara bush. i thought, oh, my god, i can't believe -- then you flip to the back and it says rise to rise pac, which is a pac supporting jeb bush. that's the key. a lot of voters know they're going to vote as democrats or republicans, and the real question is, how many of those undecided unregistered voters will vote in each primary? it's a pretty small sliver, but that really is what will make this election. >> another interesting thing about last night, we looked at google, and they released their top searched questions on the candidates in light of the debate. hillary clinton's top question was, how old is hillary clinto

but then i'm undeclared.o unique to new hampshire and how the folks here like to wear it. >> yeah. we like to think of ourselves as free agents. i mean, a lot of the undeclared voters, they technically are. a lot of them are habitually partisan voters democrats or republicans but there are those in the middle. sanders and trump have both hit a nerve with certain voters, especially from working class backgrounds, who are looking at economic equality, look at the great recession and say, economy never recovered for me. >> interestingen sight. greatly appreciate it. keeping an eye as i mentioned, bernie sanders he's got this rally going on in rochester, new hampshire. we'll have much more from there and more "mtp daily" right after this. ♪ ♪ sfx: car driving. ♪ sfx: engine revving. ♪ ♪ sfx: car engine. sfx: car speeding away. sfx: car engine. ♪ advil pain relievers are used by more households than any other leading brand. to treat their aches and pains more people reach for advil. relief doesn't get any better t

in this state they are called undeclared.y could be in all likelihood they will be the deciding factor. what are those voters telling you? >> have much this evening republican voters are telling us they are undecided at this point. republicans and democrats have to vote in their respective primaries. but they can vote in either primary. so they are very, very riley sought after. while many we talked to have an idea who they are going to vote for. most would say they are still on the fence. >> what will make up your mind on who to vote for tuesday? >> their resume. i'm a carly fan. i'm sold on carly. could i be swayed? yes. >> how will you know. >> tuesday morning i'll go with my gut. reporter: is it going to be a tough decision? >> it will be, yes. reporter: these voters had two decisions. do they vote republican or democrat and which candidate do they vote for. we also wondered would the debate performance sway them. reporter: are you voting democrat or republican? >> probably republican. >> who are you thinking about? >> i

among the all-important undeclared group he is in fourth place. we'll see how that pans out. you. melissa: thank you so much, john. connell? connell: here to weigh in on his candidates you heard from marco rubio, former governor of new york, george pataki. former candidate himself. governor, thank you for coming in today. a lot of talk about this idea of senator versus governor which governor christie argued and voters john roberts spoke to and are undecided thinking about that. why as former governor do you support senator rubio? >> i think senator rubio has right vision for america. he accomplished things in the senate which is hard to do in washington. he is the person who got through the budget provision that defunds taxpayers for obama care exchanges. so obama care is going to have to go. he has the best strategic vision for protecting us from radical islam. and projecting american power intelligently overseas. connell, i was governor on september 11th. connell: yes. >> to me the single most important role of the president is to keep the american people safe. i have abso

by the way, this works the same for the undeclared. if they don't get 15%, they have to choose among those who did meet the threshold. this all continues until only viable candidates with at least 15% support or the undeclared group if they have 15% support remain. nbc's tracie potts is on the campaign trail in des moines, iowa. tracie, pleasure to see you at this early hour. with the polls relatively close at this phase, a lot of emphasis has been on china. a lot encouraged to come out and vote in the caucus. what are we expecting at this stage? >> well, that is definitely going to be the key. we've heard bernie sanders say that over and over. turnout is going to be the key, not only for this campaign but for all of these candidates. the biggest turnout we ever saw here was 2008. that was the first obama election. 1 in 6 i wants voted. we'll see if they break that threshold tonight. it's not just about how many people turn out. the turnout also has to do with who turns out. for example, the polls have told us on the democratic side is

but as you said, 44%. 383,000 undeclareds.ndication now from the polling on who they're going for? we've heard from 1/3 to 65% of the voters there are still undecided this close to the primary. >> well, look. among the republicans, they seem -- they're all knotted up. the self-identified republicans are knotted up and there's a whole group of candidates between about 8% and 15%. and then, when you lay those independents in, trump and kasich rise up on the republican side. the independents really like trump and they really like kasich. interestingly, we've seen a lot of polling that would indicate that there are voters undecided between bernie sanders and donald trump. that may be because both of them have a message that's about tearing down the establishment, sort of blowing things up in washington. but these voters are going to go one way or the other. and if you're donald trump, which you want in order to deliver the kind of resounding win that you need to show the republican party that you're here to stay and mean business,

and the bulk of people here are undeclared.republicans or registered democrats, they're actually undeclared. that means in an open primary, they can walk in on tuesday night and say, you know what, i think i'll go with trump, or i think i'll go with bernie sanders. it so makes for a real interesting race on tuesday night. it makes it very difficult for polls to kind of predict what's going to happen. you remember in 2008, that's when i was covering hillary clinton, everybody though barack obama, based on the polls, was going to walk away. well, hillary clinton ended up winning here. i had a chance to speak with some of the undecided voters just last hour, brian. we sat down with three women who still haven't quite made up their mind. take a listen. >> i really am undecided. i used to -- when i lived in texas, i used to watch all of this go on in new hampshire and think, how can you not know who you're voting for? >> for any of us in new hampshire, i don't think it's a three-person race. you haven't paid as much attention to the

1st there were 873,932 registered voters in new hampshire, 229,000 registered democrats, 383,834 undeclared will that's why candidates on hard in new hampshire. new hampshire's undecided voters can make or break campaigns. we found many people still undecided. those decisions are still being made, right carey? point. the voters here are educated. they know the candidates. they know the issues, and they're taking their time making this decision, many take it seriously and for some of them it goes down to the wire. we found family, friends, colleagues throughout the afternoon talking politics and concentrating on the field of candidates, so the majority of these new hampshire registered voters close to 400,000 are undeclared. they pledge no party and weigh all their options. new hampshire voters get the rap of being undecided until they do you like that? >> it's who i want to choose. >> i need to weigh everything in order to make my decision. >> i'm still undecided. >> so, obviously some folks have made up their mind but we hear the stories about people who walk into the poll and finally dest

so that's a wildcard, but we these people may vote and the undeclared voters

there is no indication of it slowing down and and a lot are undeclared they have not made a decision who they want to support until they get to the polls and candidates are hoping for the undeclared voters coming out and changing the polls. so we can see a lot of things happen tonight. >> it can be a volatile night but important night thank you. >> and we want to get to alex giles he is live in the alert center with more. >> this information came down into the alert center this the criteria for the next republican presidential debate being held in south carolina to qualify. you have to place among the top five candidates in new hampshire's republican top and the top three candidateso the popular vote in iowa's republican caucus and among the top five of candidates in the average of south carolina and national polls. we will look to see who will be competing in that debate after today. >> alex giles in our alert center live thank you. >>> time for a check of traffic. here is tonya rivens. how are the roads looking today? >> not too bad, brigida. sponsored by people's bank. i-77 and 48

this all continues until only viable candidates with at least 15 support or the undeclared group if they have 15% support remain. >> by the way when you're watching the raw election get raw numbers of actual votes on the republican side and you'll see hundreds of thousands on the democratic side. it will only be a few hundred or a thousand or two because what you'll see is adding up of local delegates, it's a little bit confusing. you'll just have to wait for somebody to say so and so won, so and so won when nbc news declares it. hopefully we can say you can take it to the bank. we'll be back in a moment with the latest on the clinton e-mails. before i had the shooting, burning, pins-and-needles of diabetic nerve pain, these feet were the first in my family to graduate from college, raised active twin girls, and trained as a nurse. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. nerve damage from diabetes causes diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is fda approved to treat this pain. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal

by the way, this works the same for the undeclared. if they don't get 15%, they have to choose among those who did meet the threshold. this all continues until only viable candidates with at least 15% support or the undeclared group, if they have 15% support, remain. >> and they're always marching. that's what i promise you. they're always marching. >> i'm just a bill on capitol hill. i like that. >> just a clocker goer sitting in the des moines community center. let's bring in kay henderson. let's go large, large picture. you have been covering iowa caucuses for a long time. i'm not going to say how long. >> 1988 was my first. >> okay. '88 is the one i keep going back to, and i don't remember a caucus season this close on both sides, this unprunpredictable, e '8, which by the way, there are people who still dispute who won the '88 caucuses. >> you had an energetic tell vanjalist, talking about the same things you hear donald trump talking about. you had the status quo guy, bob dole, and another status quo guy, the vice president on th

this all continues until only viable candidates with at least 15 support or the undeclared group if they have 15% support remain. >> by the way when you're watching the raw election returns tomorrow night, we'll get raw numbers of actual votes on the republican side and you'll see hundreds of thousands on the democratic side. it will only be a few hundred or a thousand or two because what you'll see is adding up of local delegates, it's a little bit confusing. you'll just have to wait for somebody to say so and so won, so and so won when nbc news declares it. hopefully we can say you can take it to the bank. we'll be back in a moment with the latest on the clinton e-mails. >>> and we are back. panel is back. tom brokaw, jennifer jacobs, joy-ann reed and david brody. start a little bit, i also talked to a bunch of democrats at various clinton and sanders events. let me give you a taste of giving their case for why they're passionate or pragmatic. take a listen. >> i like a lot of what bernie says, but i think it's more realistic to go with hillary. >> reporter: did you caucus eight years

we've been hearing about republicans and democrats but here tonight with all these voters, it's the undeclared that are the focus. crowds forming before the polls open. primary day in new hampshire, serious business for voters. >> we want to have a say in who our president will be and what kind of laws will be made, what our future would be. >> have your i. d.s out. >> reporter: the lines growing throughout the day. police details called in to help with parking. >> i think there's a heavy turnout judging by the traffic. >> reporter: the unique thing with new hampshire, the undeclared voters don't even choose which primary's party they're voting in until they get to their place. meaning don't choose a candidate until the last possible second. at to that the fission in the natin primary reputation and the granite state's importance pal exceeds its delegate count. >> reporter: and voters say this year feels special both sides bringing out voters of all ages and backgrounds and they're paying close attention. >> i think that's politics in general. i watched the last republican debate, and i though

corner, sanders backers in another, o'malley folks in a third and something called undeclared, they meet as well. but, for example, if martin o'malley, who is pulling the lowest, can't seef at least 15% at this site, his supporters can go to another candidate or become undeclared. by the way, this works the same for the undeclared if they don't get 15%, they have to choose among those who did meet the threold. this all continues until only viable candidates with at least 15 support or the undeclared group if they have 15% support remain. >> by the way when you're watching the raw election returns tomorrow night, we'll get raw numbers of actual votes on the republican side and you'll see hundreds of thousands on the democratic side. it will only be a few hundred or a thousand or two because what you'll see is adding up of local delegates, it's a little bit confusing. you'll just have to wait for somebody to say so and so won, so and so won when nbc news declares it. hopefully we can say you can take it to the bank. we'll be back in a moment with the latest on the clinton e-mails. before i

we did pretty well undeclared. a lot of undeclared are republicans. bill: i get it.i'm going for how many would be typical democratic voters did not like their options and liked the message of kasich. >> i think substantial number but equally weighted of number of republicans wanted to vote on their side. it's a wash. the real key, how many middle group neither republicans or democrats, genuinely undeclared took a republican ballot. usually bulge of those people went to democrats. we think this year it was 49-49. bill: a lot of his message was positive. i will not go negative on other guys. the way super-pac system is set up the he doesn't is have to go negative. the super packs can do it for him. >> i don't like that ad as it came down. our advertising -- bill: he did. >> it did come down. it came down the same day. i don't know if anybody even saw it. we have too many people yelling at each other. we don't have enough resources to join in that fight. there is a food fight on all different levels. already some of the super-pacs we'll scorch the earth. that is not wh
