Winning in these two early primary States - in less than a month from now - is considered to be the key for an effective presidential campaign, but there has been past trends wherein candidates have won the Democratic Party's nominations even in setbacks in first few Sates.
In New Hampshire, Sanders, 74, leads Clinton, 69, by 14 points, according to latest poll released by Monmouth University.
Sanders has also taken lead over Clinton in Iowa polls.
According to Quinnipiac University polls Sanders has support of 49 per cent likely caucus goers against 44 for Clinton.
This is a significant drop for Clinton as last month she was up by 11 per cent.
This is Clinton's second attempt at US presidential elections.
In her first attempt in 2008, she was defeated in the Democratic Party primaries by the outgoing President Barack Obama.
If elected she would be the first woman president of the United States.
