While many polls show Barack Obama gaining numbers, many voters believe they could change their minds before heading into the voting booth.
If polls are correct, Hillary Clinton is going to have a tough time against Obama in New Hampshire.
Clinton got emotional when speaking with voters in New Hampshire. She said the campaign schedule is grueling.
"It's not easy…it's not easy," Clinton said. "I've had so many opportunities from this country. I just don't want to see it fall backwards."
Voters in Dixville Notch kept with tradition and went to the polls at midnight.

New Hampshire Primary
The New Hampshire primary might be dependent on independent votes.

Nearly 45 percent of voters in New Hampshire label themselves independent, and the state motto is, "Live free or die."
New Hampshire resident Eric Orff said he enjoys his independent voter status. "I really like being an independent because I can use my ballot almost as a scalpel," Orff said. "Sometimes I want to cut someone out before they leave New Hampshire."
In the GOP race, wild card Ron Paul appeared on Jay Leno last night and Mike Huckabee talked to David Letterman.
"After doing this show I think we are in good shape," Huckabee said.
Even though many had written off John McCain, he's the frontrunner in New Hampshire and billed his bus swing as, "Mac is Back."
Independents will have a huge impact in this primary and are expected to support McCain and Obama.
By law, residents are free to vote in either party's primary. The question is whether they will go GOP or vote Democratic.
