In the leadup to the New Hampshire primaries, years of hard work are paying off for democratic youth organizers in the state. They are projected to produce record turnout among young democrats in the state, most of them pledging support for Bernie Sanders. Behind Sanders are Warren and Yang, respectively, who also have large youth support networks in New Hampshire. Meanwhile, on the Republican side of things, Trump is projected to achieve a landslide victory, with ninety percent of those polled pledging support to him.

College students were so closely associated with the wins that the Republican legislature has since moved to curb their ability to vote in the state.
