The Evangelicals that Cruz relied on won’t be there for him in New Hampshire.
However will this become a trend now with Trump underperforming his poll numbers?
No, but Cruz has been quietly building support among Republican and independent libertarians in NH, along with the evangelical vote. I don't think he will win NH, but then he was never planning on winning NH. That state is more likely to support a NE liberal like Trump. But the evangelical vote comes into play again in a big way in SC.
