Indiana Republican Polls GOP April 27 2016 Trump, Cruz

Voters in the state of Indiana will finally have their opportunity to express their opinions over which republican primary candidate best represents their views when they go to the polls on May 3.

The state, which comes late in the primary process and would usually be of little importance, has now been brought to centre stage, given the delicate nature of the race.

There are a total of 57 delegates that will be on offer and the state adopts a winner-take-all approach to their allocation. Meaning that whoever wins will walk away with 100% of the delegates.

According to the latest RealClearPolitics Average (April 18-22) it is Donald Trump who is making the running in the state, although his lead is not as impressive as it has been in some states. The businessman is at 39.3% followed by Cruz 33% and Kasich 19.3%.

Should Trump be victorious here then he will certainly maintain his hopes of obtaining the 1,237 delegates alive.

Delaware Exit Polls Republican Primary April 26 2016

This Tuesday 5 states will go to the polls as the Republican Primary season nears its conclusion.

Hitherto it has been a hectic campaign, with Donald Trump sparking numerous controversies and annoying the establishment. He looks set to continue doing it, as according to polls he is ahead in all 5 states that vote today and looks set to win them all.

In Pennsylvania however, there are a total of 71 delegates available but 54 of them are unbound, meaning that Trump could win the state handily but only receive 17 delegates.

A new poll by Gravis conducted between April 17-18 showed Trump on 55%, followed by John Kasich with 18% and Cruz in third place with 15%.

As soon as the first exit polls and results are available they will be published here.

Rhode Island Exit Polls Republican Primary 26 April 2016

The tiny state of Rhode Island is often overlooked in Primary Campaigns, both due to its size and also the late date of voting here. This year however things are a little different, every delegate counts and so there is more focus on the state than there would usually be.

Recent polls have shown that Donald Trump is firmly in the lead in this state with anywhere between 38-61%. There are 19 delegates available in the state which are allocated in a proportional manner.

It would appear that Trump has a very good chance of winning in all 5 states as polls show him ahead in all of them. Should this happen he will definitely keep alive his hopes of obtaining the 1,237 delegates that are needed in order to confirm the nomination.

As soon as the first exit polls and results are available for the state of Rhode Island, they will be published here.

Connecticut Exit Polls Republican April 26 2016

The scene is set, as the Republican Primary season reaches its defining moments, uncertainty is swirling around the entire process. It is not yet sure if any candidate can reach the 1,237 candidates required in order to bag the nomination. In fact the only one left who can really do it, is businessman Donald Trump.

If no candidate ends up reaching the number of delegates that are needed, then the convention with be contested, until we finally have a winner.

Connecticut is not normally associated with a great deal of attention during the primaries, due to its small size and the fact that it votes late on in the process. This year however, it has taken on greater importance due to how tight the race has become.

As soon as the first exit polls and results are known, they will be published here.

Maryland Exit Polls Republican April 26 2016

The last few weeks have been rather hectic in the Republican Primaries, with Ted Cruz winning in Utah, Wisconsin and Colorado. However, businessman Donald Trump had his revenge in New York winning almost all of the available delegates.

In the midst of this, John Kasich continues in the race, despite having won only one state and seemingly having no chance of repeating his victory in Ohio.

Things are now perfectly poised going into yet another "Super Tuesday" on April 26, where a total of 5 states will cast their ballots. If recently polling is to be trusted then it is once again Trump with the upper hand, leading by vast margins in most of these areas.

As soon as the first exit polls and results are available they will be published here.

Exit Polls Pennsylvania Republican April 26 2016

Today the great state of Pennsylvania will be the setting for a Republican Primary of great importance.

The current state of the race is very uncertain with Donald Trump now the only candidate who can realistically reach the 1,237 delegates required in order to secure outright the nomination. However, if he fails to reach this mark then it will go down to a Contested Convention, where anything could happen.

Current delegate count

Donald Trump    845
Ted Cruz           559
John Kasich      148

A total of 71 delegates are available in Pennsylvania, however 54 of these are unbound, meaning that the winner of popular vote is only guaranteed 17 delegates, then it will be up to each individual delegate with regards to who to support.

As soon as the first exit polls and results start coming in from Pennsylvania they will be published here.

Republican Polls Connecticut April 26 2016 Trump, Cruz

There hasn`t been a great deal of polling done in the state of Connecticut, maybe due to its small size and late voting date. This year, however, it will be taking on more importance given the current situation in the Republican Primaries.

There have been two recent polls which show a significant lead for Businessman Donald Trump. Similar polls in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware also show the real estate mogul leading heftily. If these trends continue then it is likely to be yet another very good day for Trump.

Donald Trump Speech 25 April 2016

With the republican race hotting up, the 3 candidates will be having a number of events just one day before 5 key states in the north east go to the polls in order to select who they best think can represent them.

Donald Trump in particular has become famous for his explosive speeches to packed crowds. On Monday April 25 he will give two speeches in Pennsylvania, at 4pm at West Chester University and at 7pm at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza.

With less than 2 months left before the end of the primaries, there is much doubt swirling around the republican nomination. Donald Trump is the only one who can get the 1,237 delegates required in order to secure the nomination. Failing that, it will come down to a contested convention which is likely to be a very chaotic event which threatens to lay bare great divides within the party.

Delaware Republican Polls April 25 2016 Trump, Cruz

Various states in the North East go to the polls to voice their opinions in the Republican Primaries this Tuesday 26 April.

One of those places where voters will finally be able to choose the favored candidate is in the state of Delaware, a place that has traditionally received little attention due to its small size and the fact that it votes at a date when the nomination is usually pretty much confirmed. This year, however, with the race not being as clear cut as previous years and with candidates scrambling to obtain every last delegate possible, Delaware is being focused on more.

Only a few recent polls have been conducted here and they show that Donald Trump has the upper hand.

Maryland Republican GOP Polls 25 April 2016 Trump, Cruz

The state of Maryland is due to vote on April 26, with a total of 38 delegates up for grabs. Usually at this stage of the race the competition is pretty much done and dusted, however this year there is a completely different state of affairs which has lead to much more attention being invested in smaller states which vote late in the campaign.

According to updated polling numbers, it is once again Donald Trump who is the frontrunner and looks like the big favorite to notch up yet another important triumph.

With such a significant lead it would be hard to bet against "The Donald" winning yet another state, although there is much debate about whether he can make it past the magic 1,237 delegates he requires to achieve the nomination.

Donald Trump Republican Delegate Count April 25 2016

As we enter the home straight in the Republican Primary campaign, the delegate count becomes ever more important as we look to see if Donald Trump can obtain the 1,237 that he needs or whether we are headed for a Contested Convention.

The system of delegate allocation differs from state to state which makes it very hard to make projections but one thing we do know, Cruz and Kasich have no chance of making it past the finish line before the Convention. This of course leaves two possibilities, a Trump victory or a Contested Convention.

The latest delegate count as of today April 24 according to AP is as follows

Donald Trump    845
Ted Cruz           559
John Kasich      148

This means that Trump requires 392 of the remaining delegates in order to secure the nomination. Many of the establishment figures within the Republican Party have publicly stated that even if Trump is just short, the rules must be followed and a Contested Convention awaits us.

Pennsylvania Republican GOP Polls April 25 2016 Trump, Cruz

There are only two days left for campaigning before 5 states go to the polls in the Republican Primaries on Tuesday.

There have already been many ups and downs for the candidates in the last few months, however it has been Donald Trump who has enjoyed more high points than his competitors.

He is currently leading the delegate count by a significant amount as of today (April 24) according to AP

Donald Trump    845
Ted Cruz           559
John Kasich      148

The state with most delegates that votes on Tuesday April 26 is Pennsylvania, although there are a total of 71 delegates available in the state, 54 are unbound, meaning they are not obligated to vote for the winner of the Primary.

Republican Polls GOP Pennsylvania April 23 2016 Trump, Cruz

After a thumping win for Donald Trump in New York all eyes are now on the next 5 states to go to the polls on April 26. Yet another Super Tuesday will bring out republican and Democrat voters in the states of Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Delaware and Connecticut.

The big question now is whether or not Trump can repeat his success which on Tuesday saw him win a total of 89 delegates out of a possible 95.

If polls are anything to go by then Trump has a very good chance of winning the popular vote in Pennsylvania and Maryland, the other states are somewhat a mystery due to the fact that no reliable polling has been done recently in these areas.

As regards to Pennsylvania the RealClearPolitics average (April 4-18) has Trump at 43.8% followed by Cruz in second place with 24.6% and Kasich in third with 23.6%.

Maryland shows a very similar story with the businessman on 41% but Kasich edging out Cruz for second place with 26.3%, the Texas Senator comes in third with 24.5%

Should these numbers play out on election day then Trump has a very good chance of pushing closer to the 1,237 delegates he requires to win the nomination, however, in Pennsylvania a total of 54 delegates are unbound, so conceivably he could win with a majority of the popular vote but still be way behind in terms of delegate allocation in the state.

Maryland Republican GOP Polls April 23 2016 Trump, Cruz

Maryland will go to the polls next Tuesday in the Republican Primary which comes at a vital moment during the campaign trial.

Following the Primary in the key state of New York where real state mogul Donald Trump triumphed in spectacular fashion, winning at least 89 delegates out of a total of 95.

If we take the republican polls for the Maryland Primary there is a clear indication that the businessman is greatly favored in the state, which adopts a winner-take-all allocation.

Results Bernie Sanders New York Primary April 19 2016

Bernie Sanders has been the great surprise in the Democratic Primaries this year. Running on a platform of democratic socialism he has attracted massive crowds who say they want to see a fairer society.

Today voters in New York will go to the polls to decide with Democratic candidate best represents their views and values. According to recent polling Hillary Clinton holds a lead over Sanders in the northern state but her advantage has been eroded slightly following a string of Sanders victories since the end of April.

A win for the Senator from Vermont in New York could be an excellent stepping stone going into the next primaries on April 26, when 5 more states will go to the polls and a large amount of delegates are at stake.

In a recent interview Sanders claimed that he believes the superdelegates will begin to defect to his cause as he begins to win more states across the country.

As soon as the first results are available they will be published here.

New York Primary Exit Polls 19/4/2016

Today voters in the state of New York will have the opportunity to voice their opinions on who should represent their party in the 2016 presidential election.

On the Democrat side, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton will battle it out in a race that is becoming closer than many analysts had at first thought. Excluding superdelegates, who support Clinton in overwhelming numbers and the race is pretty close.

As for the Republicans Donald Trump maintains a healthy lead in the delegate count but it remains to be seen whether or not he will reach the amount that he needs in order to put the nomination beyond doubt.

Recent polling suggest that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are the favorites going into the New York Primary but we will await the first exit polls to have an indication who is winning.

Democratic Exit Polls New York April 19 2016 Clinton, Sanders

The big day has finally arrived, today is the New York Primary for the Democratic Party and we are all anxiously awaiting the dramatic face off between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.

For months Clinton has been dominating the polls in the northern state, far ahead of Democratic Socialist Bernie Sanders, however in the last few weeks there has been some indications that Sanders may be narrowing the gap. That said, Hillary Clinton remains a strong favorite in the state.

Clinton currently holds a very large lead in the delegate count mainly due to the fact that she was overwhelming support from superdelegates, who can vote whichever way they please, however in a recent interview Sanderes claimed that he was still confident of victory because he believes these superdelegates will change allegiances as he continues to win states across the country.

As soon as the first democratic exit polls are available they will be published here.

Donald Trump Results New York Primary April 19 2016

Donald Trump`s unique style and rhetoric around controversial topics such as immigration has added extra spice to this year`s Republican Primaries. However it has also lead to a deep divide in the party, with some republicans starting a "Never Trump" campaign in which they pledge not to vote for him even if he is eventually chosen as the Party`s nominee.

On the other hand polls show that despite a rather high unfavorability rating, Trump`s core supporters are the most loyal amongst any candidate. This means that whatever the outcome, if Trump turns out being the overall winner in the Primaries, or if he loses in a contested convention despite having obtained more votes, some part of the party will be greatly disenfranchised.

The State of New York goes to the polls today and is seen as a vital test as to whether or not Trump can obtain the delegates he requires. According to recent polls he is a long way ahead of his rivals, Ted Cruz and John Kasich, who are gripped in a tight battle for second place.

As soon as the results are known, they will be immediately published here.

Results New York Exit Polls Trump April 19 2016

Should Trump win by a large margin in all the congressional districts then he has a very good chance of winning the majority of the 95 delegates that the state offers.

Donald Trump, who is currently leading the Republican Race will face off against Ted Cruz and John Kasich in his home state of New York on April 19. Many commentators see Trump as the massive favourite going into the contest and polls support this conclusion.

In fact such is the businessman`s support in the northern state that the majority of recent polls are showing him easily exceeding 50% of the vote. Should this be reflected in the results and Trump gains the majority of support in all districts then he would win almost all of the delegates that are on offer, a total of 95.

Maryland is one of five states where republican primaries will take place on April 26. Yet another "Super Tuesday" comes at a vital time given the current state of the race, with no candidate yet close to the 1,237 required delegate count, it appears that a contested convention may become a reality.

Businessman Donald Trump, who has run his campaign with the now famous slogan "Make America Great Again" is the only one who could realistically obtain enough delegates to become the nominee on the first vote. However recent loses in Utah, Wisconsin and Colorado mean that the contested convention is looking more and more likely.

UK EU Referendum Poll 16 April 2016

A new average of the last 6 polls that have been conducted run by Natcen Social Research shows that the leave and remain camps are tied at 50-50.

In the last few weeks there has been a steady increase in support for the UK leaving the European Union and this new information confirms that this trend is continuing. The referendum to decide Britain`s future with regards to the EU will take place on June 24 and there is no doubt that we are in for a few months of vigorous campaigning before the vote.

With the migrant crisis and terrorist attacks on European soil, many British voters believe it is best to leave the EU and regain full national sovereignty while others argue that there would be serious economic costs for leaving and it would be best to stay.

The Delaware Primary will take place on April 26 alongside 4 other states, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Maryland and Connecticut.

Depending on how the results go, these elections could give us a much clearer idea about about whether Donald Trump can win the nomination or if we are headed for a contested convention.

Trump will definately need to do well if he wants to keep his chances of reaching the 1,237 delegate mark alive. He now needs to win 60% of the remaning delegates in order to achieve this.

Although Delaware is one of the smaller states going to the polls, with only 16 delegates on offer, with a republican race coming down to the wire, every delegate counts.

No reliable polling has been conducted in the state which employs a winner-take-all format but recent polls show Trump leading by impressive margins in New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Republican Polls GOP Maryland April 16 2016 Trump, Cruz

The Maryland Republican Primary comes at a vital point in the race. Donald Trump is leading according to the latest polls with Ted Cruz and John Kasich in a close battle for second place.

RealClearPolitics Average (March 30-April 12)

Donald Trump    40.5%
John Kasich      26.8%
Ted Cruz           24%

This shows that Trump has a lead of 13.7% with just over a week remaining before the vote takes place.

Maryland is a winner-take-all state which makes it all the more important, especially for Trump who needs about 60% of the remaining delegates in order to secure the nomination, for Cruz that number rises to 90%, making it almost impossible for him to win and as for Kasich there are not enough delegates for him to triumph in the primary contest.

The best chance for Cruz and Kasich is to win enough delegates to stop Trump from reaching the 1,237 delegate mark and to force a contested convention.

Republican GOP Polls Pennsylvania April 16 2016

April 26 will be the date for the Pennsylvania Primary when voters will make their choice as to which Republican candidate best represents their views.

There are a total of 71 delegates on offer in the Keystone State and it is one of five that will go to the polls on this date.

There is now less than a week left until the republican primary in New York. It is the only state that votes on April 19, which makes sure that it will receive a large amount of media attention.

Donald Trump has won the most states hitherto, however his momentum has been arrested somewhat by Ted Cruz victories in Utah and Wisconsin, as well as Colorado where Cruz won all 34 delegates without a popular vote.

Trump would now need to win 60% of the remaining delegates in order to win the nomination out right going into the Republican Convention held between July 18-21. Should Trump not obtain this amount of delegates then additional votes would be required and delegates would be free to defect to other candidates.

RealClearPolitics Average (March 30-April 12)

Donald Trump    40.5%

In order for Trump to pass the magic 1,237 mark he would have to win 60% of the remaining delegates, Cruz would have to win roughly 90% of remaining delegates and as for Kasich it is mathematically impossible for him to reach 1,237.

If no candidate reaches this amount then there will be a contested convention in Cleveland.

New York Republican GOP Polls April 14 2016

The Republican Primary season is reaching crunch point as various key states go to the polls. Defeats for frontrunner Donald Trump in Wisconsin and Colorado have lowered expectations that Trump will obtain the 1,237 delegates he requires and thus heightening the possibility of a contested convention.

Cruz took all 34 delegates in the state of Colorado which has a complex system and a popular vote didn`t take place, invoking the fury of Trump, "This was a political hack deal, like so much of our country. This is what our country's all about I guess" he complained.

The next state that will go to the polls is New York, where Trump is expected to do well. In his campaign events in the state he has been relentlessly attacking Cruz for a comment he made in one of the televised debates where he said Trump represented New York Values, which was done with "scorn" according to the businessman.

Trump has repeatedly railed against what he views as a corrupt system, which has earned him some powerful enemies from within the establishment, spawning a movement of republicans who call themselves "Never Trump" indicating they will not vote for the real estate mogul, even in the general election.

New York Republican GOP Polls April 13 2016

After 3 months of what can only be described as a hectic Republican Primary process, we now head to New York.

On April 19 New Yorkers will cast their vote, choosing between the three remaining candidates, Donald Trump, Ted Cuz and John Kasich, being Trump`s home state he is expected to do very well and this is being born out by the latest polls which have him well ahead of his two adversaries.

The recent controversy in Colorado over how delegates are awarded has left many republican voters there infuriated and has only served to add extra spice to the campaign. The state, which has a complicated process for allocating delegates, awarded all 34 to Cruz. Trump couldn`t contain his frustration with the system and lashed out stating "This was a political hack deal, like so much of our country. This is what our country's all about I guess". Every victory for Cruz seems to edge us closer to a contested convention, which would be interesting to say the least.

In New York, however, even with a full week to go until the election, it seems almost impossible to imagine how anyone other than Trump has a chance of winning. The current RealClearPolitics average (March 29-April 10) has the real estate mogul on 53.6%, Followed by Kasich on 21% and 18.6% for Cruz.

Should these numbers hold then Trump has a very good chance of winning the majority of the 95 delegates that New York has on offer.

Predictions Republican Primary New York 2016 Date

The next important date in the Republican Primary calendar is April 19, when New York goes to the polls. Texas Senator Ted Cruz has achieved some important victories in the last few primaries in Wisconsin and Utah, while Donald Trump took Arizona.

Taking a look at the latest polls Trump has a solid lead over Cruz and Kasich.

Democratic Polls April 12 2016 Sanders, Clinton

The next stop on the Democratic Primary campaign is New York, where polls show that Hillary Clinton has the advantage. She currently leads Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders by 54-40, a significant lead no doubt, however the gap between the two contenders has tightened since the end of March.

Polls at the end of March showed Clinton leading by more than 30 points, however, following a string of Sanders Victories it would appear that his campaign has gathered momentum.

Republican Polls GOP April 12 2016 Trump, Cruz, Kasich

All eyes are on New York, which is the next state which goes to the polls in the Republican Primaries on April 19. There are currently only 3 candidates left out of 17 who were originally competing for the nomination, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and John Kasich.

New York is Trump`s home state and he is expected to do extremely well here, which is fortuitous for him given that a total of 95 delegates will be awarded in the state.

The current RealClearPolitics average shows the following percentages

Donald Trump      53.5%
John Kasich        21%
Ted Cruz            18.8%

If this results were to hold true in every single congressional district then Trump would obtain almost all of the delegates in the state of New York and receive a timely boost in his quest to reach the 1,237 delegates he requires.

Following Trump`s hefty defeat in Wisconsin to Texas Senator Ted Cruz there has been a certain amount of debate swirling around as to whether or not Trump is losing momentum, a resounding victory in New York would once again serve to dispell this notion and galvantize his supporters.

Following a massive victory for Ted Cruz in Wisconsin the next stop on the Republican campaign trail is New York.

Donald Trump who is based in New York has a massive amount of support in the state and it would be almost inconceivable to see him being beaten here, it all depends now on the margin of victory.

In Trump`s latest events he has been doubling down on a moment in the debates when Cruz criticized New York Values.
