Kasich’s stop in New Hampshire comes just days before its primary next Tuesday. He has repeatedly remarked that his campaign is “smoked” without a strong performance there.

The Ohio governor is in fourth place in polls, just 0.6 percentage points behind Ted Cruz, 4 points behind Marco Rubio and trailing front-runner Donald Trump by 20.2 percent, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of polls.
