After losing West Virginia last week to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will try to get back on the winning side of things Tuesday in Kentucky and Oregon's presidential primaries. The most recent polls show she could have a shot at taking both states.

There's a dearth of recent polling in Kentucky, but Clinton has ramped up efforts in the state, planning an additional two days of campaigning. It's a closed primary, which keeps out independent voters, who have largely favored Sanders on a national scale. The most recent poll available, a March Public Policy Polling survey that talked with 501 likely Democratic voters, found Clinton led Sanders by five percentage points, 43 percent to 38 percent. Of course, a lot has changed since March.

There's been more recent polling in Oregon, and the results are projecting good news for the Clinton camp. An Oregon Public Broadcasting poll carried out by DHM Research between May 6 and May 9 found Clinton led by 15 percentage points, 48 percent to 33 percent. The Oregon primary is closed.

Despite recent victories for Sanders in West Virginia and Indiana, the delegate math is still heavily in Clinton's favor. The former secretary of state leads 1,716 to 1,433 in pledged delegates and 524 to 40 in superdelegates, according to the New York Times' count. Sanders would need to win some 70 percent of the remaining votes to tilt the delegate scale in his favor heading into the Democratic convention in July.

4. I stood on highway 101 in a very rural part of southwest Oregon

for the last two days with a sign that said "HONK FOR BERNIE" this is a very conservative part of the state, but I was pleasantly surprised by the response, at least 1/3 of the vehicles honked.

6. I Will Eat My Own Garbage If The Oregon Poll Is True

Bernie attracts crowds in the tens of thousands and Hillary gets hundreds at most. Yes many Bernie supporters are young and unaffiliated but NONE of them are conservative leaning independents.

[Pharaoh]

10. NO

[GulfCoast66]

12. Of course not

But can Bernie win with the supporters who love showing up for big exciting rallies, but can't seem to find a way to register for the correct party or to make it to the polls?
