January 8 is fast approaching, and the country is waiting to see how the New Hampshire will vote on the presidential candidates.

Preliminary polls indicate that despite Barack Obama's win in Iowa, Hilary Clinton will win the Democratic primary in New Hampshire.

According to the polls, the Republican primary will be taken either by John McCain or Mitt Romney, although Mike Huckabee won the Caucus in Iowa.

Right now, the New Hampshire polls from Pollster.com show that McCain and Romney lead the candidates in the Republican primary, with McCain slightly ahead of Romney. The most recent polls from Pollster.com report McCain with 31.8 percent of the vote and Romney with 27.6 percent.

Next comes Rudy Giuliani with 10.6 percent, Huckabee with 9.4 percent, Ron Paul with 7 percent, and Fred Thompson with 2 percent.

Meanwhile, Pollster.com shows that the polls for the Democratic primary in New Hampshire are far less ambiguous, with Clinton leading Obama by more than 10 percentage points in the most recent polls. Clinton stands at 34.8 percent, while Obama trails with 24.2 percent.

Behind those two leaders comes John Edwards, with 16.8 percent, Bill Richardson with 6.2 percent, and Joe Biden with 2.8 percent.

Rasmussen Reports polls show that overall, Clinton holds 38 percent of the polls in the Democratic primaries, while Obama holds 26 percent and Edwards holds 18 percent.

Nationally, Rasmussen Reports shows that the Republican primaries may be a much closer race. McCain has 18 percent, Huckabee has 16 percent. Giuliani follows with 14 percent, then Thompson with 13 percent, and finally Paul with 6 percent.

Now that the Iowa Caucus is over, the first indicators of who might be running for President this year are appearing.

We await the New Hampshire primaries with bated breath, eager to see how the vote will fall in the Granite State.

You actually were pretty much right on the money, until you predicted that Rudy would finish as high as he didn't. But that said, good predicting.

I saw first hand in Iowa and especially at the caucus last night that Obama's people are much better organized and inspired.... Which to me shows great signs of leadership, but then again he's has the experience as a grassroots organizer and has run his own campaigns longer than Hillary unless you count her by Bill's side. Two different types of experience.

Erm... Pollster.com doesn't have a single poll in New Hampshire that includes a bit of post-Iowa data. So saying that "despite Barack Obama's win in Iowa, Hilary Clinton will win the Democratic primary in New Hampshire" is non-sensical, given that there is no information available that takes Iowa into account.

Bill Clinton didn't run a campaign in Iowa in 1992. No Democrat did. Tom Harkin, Senator from Iowa, ran that year making Iowa meaningless on the Democratic side. Thus no Democrats wasted time or resources in Iowa that year.

The next few days will certainly be interesting. Bill Clinton didn't win Iowa either. I don't think Hillary is daunted by Iowa's results, but there are lessons they can all learn from the experience. One thing is certain, her campaign is run like a well - oiled machine.
