Trump also prompts the most enthusiasm of the remaining three candidates: 39% say they will be enthusiastic if he wins the nomination, 21% would feel that way about Cruz and 16% about Kasich.

So far Clinton has won about 55% of the pledged delegates elected to the convention.
Sanders says he will continue his campaign fight through the end of the primary calendar, although he is cutting his staff substantially, and his odds of winning the Democratic nomination outright is nearly mathematically impossible. Superdelegates can vote for the candidate they prefer.
Though they’ve been part of Democratic presidential elections since 1984, the superdelegates have never been a determining factor for the nomination because they’ve never overturned the candidate that leads nationally in pledged delegates. “When natives are ‘on the reservation, ‘ it is implied that we are contained, isolated, and controlled”, he said.
The frustration was dramatic on the Republican side. “He is the candidate who is in the best position to bring a new generation of voters into the democratic process and restore the faith of working-class voters that we can have a government that works for all of us, not just the 1 percent”.
“I think it’s a very harsh statement…’I can handle men, don’t worry about me, ‘” he said on CNN Monday. “And one thing I give her credit for, she did a lot of traveling”, he said.
At an earlier rally in Terre Haute, Ind., Trump groused that his rivals were forcing him into “wasting time” that he could otherwise spend raising “money for the Senate races”.
· While Secretary Clinton posts better numbers than her Republican counterparts, she leaves much to be desired as a presumptive nominee.
And yet, her unfavorables are nothing compared to those of Trump. And she took aim at both Trump and Cruz for wanting to “slash taxes on the wealthy” and for using “dangerous” rhetoric about Muslims.
Clinton “will need superdelegates to take over the top at the convention in Philadelphia”, Sanders said.
As the June 7, primary date draws closer, pollsters found Trump leading by wide margins among virtually every demographic, including women, young voters, college grads and those who self-identify as very conservative. “And we need to be sure that as we go forward in this campaign, we look out mostly for those left out and left behind”.
Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appear to be in a tight race in IN, where the Vermont senator desperately needs a win to stay competitive in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Cruz wasn’t surrendering to the delegate math, even after a tough week in which former House Speaker John Boehner called him “Lucifer in the flesh” and “a miserable son of a bitch”.
In an Associated Press-GfK poll in February, 14 percent said a female candidate would be at least somewhat less likely to get their vote. As shocking as this may sound coming off his crushing defeat in the primary, Marco Rubio shows signs of life amongst Hispanics and NMP’s which no other Republican we tested can claim. Joe Trippi, a veteran of several Democratic presidential campaigns, cited the example of George H.W. Bush’s success in 1988 in defining then-Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis while the Democratic nominating process dragged on and President Barack Obama’s ability in 2012 to focus on Mitt Romney before the Republican was able to fully secure the nomination.

Meanwhile, Sanders was facing a new round of questions about why he was even still running.
