(CNN) -- A narrowed field of White House hopefuls is fighting for the support of New Hampshire's voters on the last day of campaigning before the state holds its first-in-the-nation primary.

The Democratic candidates, jumping on the campaign trail's latest buzzword, are trying to show New Hampshire voters that they can be the agent of change.

Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, who has opened up a double-digit lead over rival Sen. Hillary Clinton, told supporters the theme of his campaign has not changed.

"We talked about change when we were up; we talked about change where we were down," he said at a rally in Claremont, New Hampshire, on Monday. "This change thing must be catching on."

Obama, who won last week's Iowa caucuses, led Clinton 39 percent to 29 percent in a CNN/WMUR poll conducted Saturday and Sunday, a sharp difference from a poll out Saturday that showed the Democratic front-runners tied at 33 percent.

The CNN/WMUR poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire, surveyed 341 Democrats and 268 Republicans likely to vote in Tuesday's New Hampshire primary. It had a sampling error of 5 percentage points.

Clinton holds a comfortable advantage in the area of experience, but 61 percent of likely Democratic voters in New Hampshire say what matters most is the ability to bring about change, according to the survey. Watch what's at stake in New Hampshire »

In the aftermath of a third-place finish in Iowa, Clinton's camp is sending thousands of e-mails to supporters saying her campaign is about action. Clinton has been focusing on her record while trying to downplay Obama's experience.

"I think it's time for people to say, 'Wait a minute. Let's get real here.' There is a big difference between talking and acting," Clinton told CNN on Sunday.

Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, a distant third, has been trying to differentiate himself from the front-runners by pushing his plan for the middle class. He says while Obama promises change, he would be more effective at taking on special interests in Washington. Watch Edwards talk about his plans to create jobs »

"You can't just nice these people to death and bring them to the table. You have to actually be willing to battle them and fight them," he said Sunday in New Hampshire. "That is the difference between us."

Gov. Bill Richardson, polling fourth in the Granite State, is setting his sights on the undecided voters.

"With Bill Richardson, you get change and you get experience. You have to have experience to change things. I have a record," he said Monday on CNN's "American Morning." Watch Richardson explain why he represents change »

"If we come in anywhere in the third or fourth spot, we are going to be doing great," he said on CNN Monday.

Sen. John McCain, who finished in a tie for fourth in Iowa, leads the GOP pack in New Hampshire, according to the latest poll. McCain has more than doubled his numbers from where he was six months ago.

"There is a lot of nostalgia associated with this morning. We've had a great time. It's been a wonderful experience again," he said at a campaign stop in Nashua on Monday. McCain won New Hampshire in the 2000 primary.

McCain leads former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney 32 percent to 26 percent, the survey found. Huckabee, whose upset win in Iowa came after being outspent by millions of dollars by Romney, passed former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani to gain third place.

Giuliani has largely skipped on New Hampshire and is pinning his hopes on Florida and the Super Tuesday states.

At a debate this weekend, McCain and Huckabee were largely on the attack against Romney, who won the Wyoming caucuses Saturday.

During a spirited discussion on foreign policy, Romney told Huckabee, "Don't try and characterize my positions."

Romney also sparred with McCain on the issue of immigration, calling his plan to provide a legal path to citizenship for some undocumented immigrants a form of amnesty. Romney has been airing television ads critical of McCain's position in New Hampshire.

Among other Republicans, anti-war Texas congressman and onetime Libertarian Party presidential nominee Ron Paul was in fifth place at 10 percent in the poll, with Rep. Duncan Hunter of California and former Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee both at 1 percent.

New Hampshire's independent voters, who make up about 40 percent of the state's electorate, could throw a surprise in tomorrow's primary.

A growing number of independents say they will vote for Paul, who was excluded from Sunday night's Republican forum on Fox, says his campaign has done a "tremendous job." Watch Paul respond to recent attacks »

"How far we go in the campaign, we don't know," Paul told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Sunday. "The American people, and there's this large segment sending money to our campaign, that are determined that this revolutionary spirit will continue
