New Hampshire has a long and rich history of selecting candidates with the best chance to secure the nomination of their party. With Iowa in the books, it’s worth remembering what former New Hampshire Gov. John H. Sununu once famously quipped: “The people of Iowa pick corn; the people of New Hampshire pick presidents.”

Since 1952, the winner of the New Hampshire primary has gone on to win their party’s nomination — until 1992 when the winning streak was broken. And while everyone has been focused on reading the tea leaves from the Iowa results — which included several coin flips to decide a precinct winner — it’s the candidates who win New Hampshire that go on to be president, with just a few exceptions.

Monday night’s shocking results out of Iowa prove only that there’s a heated three-way race for Republicans going into New Hampshire, with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, mogul Donald Trump and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio one-two-three, with just five points dividing them. Democrat Hillary Clinton was able to squeak out a win in Iowa, just barely inching past socialist Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

But what happens in Iowa doesn’t indicate what will happen in New Hampshire. The latest polling in New Hampshire from CNN/WMUR has Trump as the front-runner, with Cruz and Rubio behind him.  Among the Democrats, the latest poll from CNN/WMUR in New Hampshire has Sanders beating Clinton by a large margin, 57 percent to 34 percent.

If history is any guide, the real contest begins now. “There have been 16 primaries since 1952, and in 13 of them, the winner of the New Hampshire primary became president,” said New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner, the longest-serving secretary of state in the country. “In the other three, the runner-up became president.”

New Hampshire is known for its large voter turnout. “In 2008, we had close to 530,000 people voted in the primary — over half the voting age population in a state with 1.3 million people,” Gardner said. “Iowa is about three times bigger than New Hampshire, but our turnout is always larger, so you get a true reflection of the people here.”

A lot of falsehoods have developed about the New Hampshire primary over its 100-year history. “Some of those myths get repeated every year whether or not it’s true,” said Andy Smith, director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. “A great majority of voters are Republicans or Democrats, there’s not a lot of independents as most falsely point out — something I’ve been trying to educate on.”

Iowa has maintained its first-in-the-nation caucus status since 1972. As of today, there are but three, non-incumbent, Iowa caucus winners who went on to become president: Barack Obama in 2008, George W. Bush in 2000 and Jimmy Carter in 1976.

There are many differences between the New Hampshire primary and the Iowa caucuses. “The Iowa caucuses are run by the state political parties, not the state of Iowa,” said Iowa Secretary of State Paul D. Tate. “However, Iowans take the process very seriously, and we believe we vet the candidates better than anyone else. It is also worth noting that the last two sitting presidents, Barack Obama and George W. Bush, won the Iowa caucuses first.”

In Iowa, religious and social conservatives make up the party base. In New Hampshire, voters tend to be fiscally conservative and socially moderate. This is the reason why Iowa selected candidates such as former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum in 2012 and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee in 2008. However, when it comes to Democrats, the voters in both states tend to be progressive.

“That’s the primary reason why no Republican has ever won the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primaries in the same year, unless they were the sitting president,” Smith said in a prior interview with USA Today. “They’re different political planets between Iowa and New Hampshire on the Republican side.”

Now, with a heated race among both the Republican and Democratic candidates, New Hampshire’s results will set the tone for the rest of the race.
