Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton stumped to a nearly half-empty room Thursday night in New Hampshire.

The former secretary of state was hosting a town hall meeting in Concord where she said that she was 'appalled' by Republican front-runner Donald Trump's for not admonishing a questioner who claimed President Barack Obama is a Muslim.

Fox News' Ed Henry went to the event and tweeted photos that showed what appeared to be more people on the stage with Clinton than in attendance.

A number of empty audience seats could be seen in Henry's photo from the meeting.

The former secretary of state hosted a few campaign events in New Hampshire on Thursday

Just last week, Clinton was speaking at a campaign event that also lacked a full audience.

Photos shared on social media from the September 10 event appear to show that only a couple hundred people turned out to hear her views on women's issues in Columbus, Ohio.

Senator Bernard Sanders of Vermont is leading the former first lady in both Iowa and New Hampshire, according to a CBS News Battleground tracker poll.

In Iowa, 43 percent of likely Democratic caucus voters support Sanders and only 33 percent support Clinton.

For New Hampshire, 52 percent of likely Democratic caucus voters support the senator while only 30 percent of voters support her.

Clinton still holds a lead over Sanders in South Carolina by more than 23 percent.

In addition, it was revealed on Friday that a group of prominent Democratic party fundraisers began circulating a letter to encourage Vice President Joe Biden to enter the 2016 race for president.

The signers of the letter are donors, Democratic activists and friends of Biden who have not thrown their full support behind Clinton.

The letter makes no mention of Clinton, however her sliding polls numbers might create a potential opening for Biden to run.

Clinton's front-runner status has taken a serious beating in the last few weeks over her use of a private email server while she was Obama's secretary of state.

Mary Lyndon Haviland, a global health consultant from Lyme, Connecticut, called Clinton an 'amazing leader' but told Reuters that she doesn't connect with 'everyday' Americans.

'Right now, I remain concerned that even some of her greatest supporters find it hard to find enthusiasm for the election,' Haviland said.
