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.

Super Tuesday Republican Results March 1 2016

The big moment has finally arrived, Super Tuesday is the day in which the contests on both the Republican and Democrat sides to secure the nomination of the party really starts to be decided.

The clear front runners are Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, at least according to polls. Trump leads in 8 of twelve states and if his numbers hold firm, then he will take a big step towards becoming the nominee. The interesting thing is that in certain states no reliable polling has been done for many months, so it remains to be seen how recent events may have effected public opinion in these areas.

On the democratic side former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is in the ascendancy having vanquished Bernie Sanders in Nevada and South Carolina. Sanders who describes himself as a "Democratic Socialist" will have to put in a good showing in order to wrestle the momentum away from Clinton who is looking ever more like the democratic candidate in 2016.

Poll South Carolina Democratic Feb 26 2016

After a bumpy start to her campaign, Hillary Clinton seems to be back in the driving seat in the race for the democratic nomination for the presidency in 2016.

She suffered a major setback after being comfortably defeated in New Hampshire which resulted in much speculation as to whether, as in 2008 she would lose after being the favoured candidate for a substational period. However a narrow win in Nevada for Clinton seems to have arrested the momentum of her adversary Bernie Sanders.

Next up in South Carolina where the former First Lady and Secretary of State has a huge lead over the democratic socialist. The Realclearpolitics average has her leading up 57-33.

Which States Vote on Super Tuesday 2016

Super Tuesday is seen as a landmark in the campaign for both the Democratic and Republican primaries in 2016, with so many delegates up for grabs, this day can literally make or break a campaign. A good showing by Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump could pretty much spell the end of any realistic challenge to their bids to become the nominees.

Should Donald Trump sweep up the majority of states it would be very difficult to imagine anyone reaching him and as for Hillary Clinton who already has a massive amount of superdelegates in her favor, Sanders needs a good day in order to keep his momentum going.

The states that vote on Super Tuesday are the following


Republican

Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia and Wyoming.

Democrat

Alabama, American Samoa, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia.

Results Nevada Feb 20 2016 Democrat

51% OF VOTES COUNTED

CLINTON 51.8%

SANDERS 48.2%

Bernie Sanders and Hilary Clinton are locked in a fierce battle in Nevada, with the latest polls showing that the Senator from Vermont has overcome a massive deficit just a few months ago and has now drawn even in the vital state.

Some polls have them in a dead heat at 45-45% while others show Clinton with a slender advantage.

Sanders has been steadily growing in the polls, building his campaign upon a solid base of democratic socialism. He has hitherto derived most of his support from young white voters, however in order to win the nomination he will need to gain with black and Latino voters and there is some evidence that he is making inroads into this demographic, worrying the Clinton Campaign.

Primary Polls Sanders Clinton South Carolina February 2016

The latest polls in the state of South Carolina show Bernie Sanders in the ascendancy but Hillary Clinton still maintains a substantial lead.

A CNN poll conducted between February 10-15 shows Clinton leading by 56-38, a full 18% advantage. Baring some dramatic development it would be hard to see Sanders overturning such a deficit, however the Senator from Vermont has thrived with the tag of underdog.

Just a few months ago nobody gave him a chance against the former Secretary of State and First Lady but after forcing Clinton into a virtual tie in Iowa he took New Hampshire, Clinton also obtained a slim but vital victory in Nevada.

South Carolina will be seen as a vital test of public opinion just prior to March 1, when 12 states go to the polls.

Sanders Clinton Nevada Poll February 2016 Democrats

We are just a few days away from the Nevada Democratic Caucus and the race is without any shadow a doubt heating up. Polls from 2015 showed Clinton with a massive lead, however, a recent survey conducted by Targetpoint shows the two in a dead heat at 45-45%. Compare this to a Gravis poll in December showing Clinton with a 23 point lead.

Another victory for Sanders would without doubt spread worry in the Clinton camp. Hitherto the ex First Lady and Secretary of State has been leading in polls, especially with black and Hispanic voters, while Sanders Draws his support mainly from young white voters. However there is certain evidence that the senator from Vermont may be making inroads into this demographic.

Many ethnic minority voters didn`t know much about Sanders at the beginning of the campaign but after his resounding victory in New Hampshire his profile has definitely been boosted.

Sanders supports a path to citizenship for undocumented migrants and will without doubt look to attack Clinton on this issue, after in 2015 she declared that unaccompanied minors from Central America should be returned to their countries.

In a recent debate Sanders highlighted his wish to "bring families together and not divide them up" and said that he would use executive orders if congress "doesn`t do the right thing".

Clinton said she was "against the raids" and "inhumane treatment" in the immigration system, instead saying "we should be deporting criminals not hardworking immigrant families". She made it clear that she was also in favor of a path to citizenship for undocumented migrants and said her comments about immigrant minors were in order to dissuade their families from sending them on the dangerous trek through Central America.

New Hampshire Primary Results 2 / 9 / 2016

The big day has arrived, the first primary of the 2016 election campaign is about to get underway. According to the latest polls Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are the favorites, although as many know, throughout history results in this state have been notoriously unpredictable.

New Hampshire has the power to make or break a candidate, often breathing new life into campaigns that suffered humiliating defeats in Iowa.

Stay tuned for updates throughout the day

Predictions New Hampshire Sanders 2016

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders were virtually tied in the state of Iowa after the votes had been counted. Most commentators agree that the result was very promising for the self-declared socialist, as he was expected to be beaten by Clinton by at least a few percentage points, the final margin of 0.2% in favor of Clinton bodes well for Sanders as the New Hampshire primary draws near, a state where polls show he has a massive lead.

According to the site realclearpolitics Sanders leads by between 8-33% depending on which poll you trust, that would appear to be a large margin of error, but the fact remains he is leading comfortably in all polls undertaken within the last few weeks. A turn around at this point looks unlikely baring some extraordinary event.

Prediction : Sanders wins New Hampshire

Hispanic Vote 2016 Poll Iowa

The Hispanic youth vote will be key in the upcoming US elections. People under 35 years will account for 44 percent of the more than 27 million Hispanic voters who will go to the polls this year, according to a study released Sunday by the Pew Research Center . This data shows that young Hispanics born from 1981 onwards in the group with greater presence within their group. Compare this to the same age group for other ethnicities, with black and Asian under 35s comprising 35% and white under 35s at just 27 percent.

Given the incredible growth in this particular demographic, the Hispanic electorate is projected to reach a record 11.9 per cent of the total number of voters in 2016, approaching the number of black voters, that has 12.4 per cent. The number of voters of this section of the population that participated in the past two elections grew from 9.7 million in 2008 to 11.2 million in 2012.

Predictions Iowa Caucuses 1 February 2016

The republican field of precandidates for the presidency in 2016 is unusually big, at 12. Many people think that this will lead to divisions within the party, given that the the GOP establishment candidates are way down in the polls and people with little or no political experience, such as Donald Trump, are leading thus far.

The success of Bernie Sanders, who represents the democratic party, describing himself as a "Democrat Socialist" has been a great surprise, especially given that historically the term "socialist" has been avoided like the plague in election time. Although his frank message has found fertile ground within young people and liberals, his lack of experience in politics could be to his detriment.

Donald Trump has achieved a lot thus far, leading the republican polls in the United States despite having made a number of controversial comments that would have sunk other candidates. Even his adversaries admit that he has been adept at using social media to keep himself in the limelight.

Both republicans and democrats could end up with presidential candidates with enormous levels of rejection. According to a recent poll by NBC News/Wall Street Journal, almost half of voters have a negative opinion of Clinton and almost 6 in 10 a negative opinion of Trump.

Clinton vs Sanders Polls Iowa, New Hampshire January 2016

Hilary Clinton, who is the clear favorite to take the democratic nomination in 2016 has been dealt a slight blow by new polls showing Sanders narrowing the gap in the two crucial states of Iowa and New Hampshire.

Although Clinton still boasts an impressive lead in most states, she will be weary of a Sanders win in either Iowa or New Hampshire, or both. It would give much needed impetus to his campaign and may galvanize his supporters to believe they can pull off an impossible victory.

A poll in Iowa conducted by NBC and The Wall Street Journal shows Clinton leading 48%-45%, whereas a Fox News poll shows Sanders with an advantage of 50%-37% in New Hampshire, although most surveys indicate a much tighter race
