===New Hampshire Primary===
The next milestone after the Iowa caucus was the New Hampshire primary. (Only the Republican Wyoming primary occurred, which was won by Romney.) On the Republican side, Mitt Romney's defeat in Iowa helped his most significant opponent, John McCain. Huckabee's victory in Iowa helped boost his campaign and gave him a higher showing than even he had expected. On the Democratic side, Obama's defeat of Clinton and Edwards led to the polls usually predicting a Obama victory in New Hampshire.
The winner for the Repbulicans was John McCain and for the Democrats Hillary Clinton. The Democratic results were:

| [[Hillary Clinton]]

| [[John Edwards]]

| [[Bill Richardson]]
| 5%

| [[Dennis Kucinich]]

Hillary Clinton's win was a setback for Obama and much-needed victory for Clinton. The poll's reliability was most hurt with these results. (Mike Gravel didn't reach a significant percentage.)
The Republican results were:

| [[Mitt Romney]]

| 9%
|-
| [[Ron Paul]]
| 8%
|-
| [[Fred Thompson]]
| 1%
|-
| [[Duncan Hunter]]
| 1%
|}
These results put the very survival of Mitt Romney on the line and intensified the upcoming Michigan primary. John McCain's victory helped boost his campaign and he predicted to go on to victory in Michigan and South Carolina. Huckabee also did well and placed an unusual third place.
