Many NH Voters Still Undecided Ahead Of Primary

MANCHESTER, NH (CBS) - From Iowa, there will be a mad dash to New Hampshire. The candidates, both democrats and republicans, will crisscross the state Tuesday, one week before the first in the nation primary.

Even before the Iowa caucuses were over, the final push in New Hampshire was on. Jeb Bush rallied support during the caucuses, far away in a small hall in Manchester and people there could feel the shift in the race.

Chris Christie held a town hall in Hopkinton. The New Jersey governor took a swipe at two of his GOP challengers, urging voters not to put another first-term senator in the White House.

John Kasich skipped Iowa to focus heavily on New Hampshire. In Loudon, the Ohio governor urged the super PACS to take down their negative ads.

Scott Otis who lives in Manchester says, "It's been crazy!"

An exciting seven days ahead for Granite Staters, the biggest political race in four years is now focused squarely on them and they do not want to disappoint.

"I'm very nervous for this primary coming up," Otis says. "I think everyone is nervous about this one coming up."

So With Iowa in the rear view, it's time to make time in their daily lives, to decide. Something these locals don't like to do until the very very end.

"I like to weigh all my options," says Seamus McCauley. "I still haven't made a decision yet on where I'm gonna lean."

And that's why places like the Red Arrow, a true homegrown spot, attracts so much political power. A direct line to the locals, this week more than ever.

A voter says, "It is nice to meet them first hand, I do enjoy it. It's very important."
