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.

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.

69 delegates are on offer in the state and according to the RealClearPolitics average taken between 3/4-3/11 Donald Trump has a moderate advantage over Ted Cruz.

Republican Debate Live 2 / 13 / 2016

The last debate before the South Carolina primary is upon us and the line up has already been released. Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Ben Carson and John Kasich will all take to the stage in what promises to be a fiery encounter with so much still to play for.

Recent polling shows that public opinion in the state has remained consistent for some months, with Trump holding a sizable lead over his main challenger. The business mogul is at 36% with Ted Cruz coming in at 19%. If Trump can avoid any slip ups then we will most likely be in for a repeat of the New Hampshire results. The interesting thing to note will be which candidate emerges as the main challenger to Trump looking forward to making a move in the southern states, hitherto Cruz and Rubio are the most likely. However the latter suffered a serious setback in New Hampshire leading many to question whether he can regain momentum or if he has suffered a fatal blow.

You can catch the debate on CBS at 8pm CST on CBS.

Predictions New Hampshire Primary 2016, Trump, Cruz, Rubio

So the results are in from Iowa, Ted Cruz has managed to win the state despite polls showing him a few percentage points adrift of Trump. Marco Rubio also had a shock result, he was expected to come third, however his share of the vote was a full 10 points above his polling. Many commentators consider Rubio to be the preferred candidate of the GOP establishment.

Iowa is considered an important state to win as it gives a candidate momentum going into New Hampshire and energize his or her vote. Despite this, on the republican side Iowa doesn't have a very good track record of predicting the winner over the last few years.

The fact that Trump didn't triumph in Iowa makes New Hampshire vital for his campaign, failure to win there could spell the end of any realistic opportunity that the businessman has to win the nomination. He currently has a lead of up to 20 points in that state (According to polls conducted within the last week). It will be interesting to see what impact, if any, yesterdays result has on the standings there.

Prediction : Trump wins New Hampshire
