donald trump and hillary clinton is back in new hampshire. clinton held a rally with bernie sanders that drew huge crowds on the campus of u.n.h. much of her message today was directed at the students telling them a majority priority of her administration will be affordable debt-free higher education. hillary clinton went onto say she's really proud of the primary race that she and bernie sanders ran that earned her the nomination saying it was focused on issues and not on insults. supporters lined up hours ahead of today's rally to secure their spot inside, but they did have some company from demonstrators supporting other candidates in this race. cherise leclerc is live in durham with the last attend dees are just clearing out. reporter: that's right, a lot of here earlier this morning,

voting. while there were no visible donald trump supporters here, there was a small group of supporters for green party candidate jill stein. >> i think it's a really good experience for me to be here and see what she's saying and just to kind of gain more knowledge, and because like u.n.h. is really great that we have candidates coming here, so i is definitely a four-party race, and the 15% polling for the johnson and stein to get into the debates is rather absurd because obviously it's cutting into both of their percentages, neither one are ever going to poll in the 50's. reporter: the field house here fits about 1200 people, so some had to be turned away at the doors, all this happening on the eve of donald trump's visit to new hampshire tomorrow. i'm cherise 9. josh: former rival

donald trump now one step away from the white house, normal rules don't apply. >> so the differences i think are very clear. and even if you have a difference of opinion with clinton on this or you don't like her, i think the stakes are so high at this moment in american history that it's clinton. and i intend to do everything i can to make that happen. josh: sanders does concede that clinton may have some trust issues to overcome, but says if she's clear about what her plans are and follows through with those plans, trust can be restored. for those who are unsatisfied by clinton or trump, a pair of republican governors have pointed forces to form the libertarian ticket. that if you tell the truth, you don have to remember anything. and i think the one unforgivable in life is hypocrisy,

in the 50's in a good portion of the state and a little warmer farther to the north. there's your current temperatures in these lines, that is the wind direction and that's part of the reason we are so much cooler today with the the clouds and some sprinkles or drizzle that were around especially this morning. here's those winds through tonight and into the day tomorrow and look, they don't change a whole lot, still out of the northeast or the north northeast. and that's keeping cooler air coming in our direction tomorrow and that trend continues as we look ahead to friday as well. so the cooler weather trend for the most part will hold, with below average temperatures for the next several days, right into and probably through the weekend as although it won't be as cold as today was. today was certainly chilly and raw. but a different story in northern new hampshire where the clouds cleared much earlier. temperatures made it warmer, let's zoom in and show you, here's berlin
