Also in the poll, President Obama’s job-approval rating in Pennsylvania is at 49 percent among registered voters, Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf’s is at 45 percent, and Republican Sen.

By the time all the votes cast in polling places from Salisbury, Md., to Woonsocket, R.I., are counted Tuesday, the parties’ nominees may be, for all intents and purposes, determined.
White House presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders acknowledged Thursday that he has “a hard path” to the Democratic nomination and that it could be difficult to overtake Hillary Clinton by convincing the party’s superdelegates to switch allegiances.
Sanders took 104 delegates for the Democrats. He added, “If we think we have to take a different way or reevaluate, we’ll do it then”. There are 189 delegates at stake in Pennsylvania and another 95 in Maryland.
Donald Trump still has some “evolving” to do.
If the voters lift Texas Sen. Of those 71, 17 are at-large and bonus delegates, meaning they go to the victor of the presidential primary preference vote – Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, John Kasich or, less likely, anyone else on the ballot. They are officially unbound, and thus up for grabs. No other Republican is going to even compete in MI, I’ll win Pennsylvania. Last week, the Sanders campaign issued fundraising emails to support two of them: Nevada congressional candidate Lucy Flores and NY congressional candidate Zephyr Teachout. That’s 12 percent of what he needs.
Many delegate candidates are relatively anonymous, and some are better-known officeholders.
As a result, Pennsylvania’s April 26 statewide primary election is relatively meaningless – a beauty pageant.
Iowa can also be viewed as exceptional because of Trump’s decision to skip the Iowa debate. Cruz has spent $561,000. This as he still writing big checks for his campaign, 11 million just in March and for the first time spending more than Ted Cruz. And, should he choose to do so, we have Senator Sanders who can galvanize his supporters to help Clinton and progressives in down ticket races.
“The part that he’s been playing is now evolving, ” Manafort said. But the delegate candidates’ names appear on the ballot without any affiliation to a presidential candidate, meaning voters won’t necessarily know who they are really supporting.
Campaigning in Indianapolis Wednesday, Trump still crowed about his victory. “Cruz has a resilient network and put some elegance into his field operation”. Some are pledged to one candidate or another. “The only fact that I think remains uncertain is if we continue to be running significantly stronger than she is against Donald Trump, or whoever the Republican nominee will be”.
He’s not part of it if there is one, English said. Most polls show Trump leading comfortably on all fronts.
The New York billionaire needed a big victory in his home state to recapture the momentum in the Republican race and push him closer to the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination.
Some establishment Republicans have been alienated by Trump’s more incendiary proposals, such as building a wall along the border with Mexico and slapping a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country.
It seems incongruous but makes sense, said pollster Patrick Murray of New Jersey’s Monmouth University.

Except, there are only five states voting. “They’re not sending a lot of Republicans to Washington”. Although this tactic is perfectly legal and been backed by political science research, Trump has repeatedly condemned as dishonest. Reporter: Trump setting his sights on the general election. “We’re gonna win with our military and we’re gonna knock the hell out of ISIS”. “Bernie made a decision after Nevada that he was going to go through this process and finish it up by letting everybody who wanted to vote, vote”, Devine said.
