Update: Bernie closing / Hillary now leading Indiana 51-49%...

Last edited Tue May 3, 2016, 07:20 PM - Edit history (7)

13 % percent in.

I still think Hillary will win. Alot of votes still out in counties that should be good for her... but could be close.

If that trend continues, this will not be a very close race.

Polls Favor Clinton But Demographics May Favor Sanders In Indiana

I wish we’d published this a little sooner, but our demographic model suggests that Clinton isn’t all that safe in Indiana despite polls showing her with a lead over Sanders. In fact, the demographic model we published last week, which “called” all five states right in the “Northeast primaries,” would have Sanders winning Indiana by 7 percentage points, since it’s a predominantly white state holding an open primary.

http://fivethirtyeight.com/live-blog/indiana-primary-presidential-election-2016/

But I would be satisfied with 7 pts down.

Absentee votes counted first.

Long night to go IMHO before Hillary or Bernie can claim Indiana.

We'll see.

Though I still think Bernie will take it in the end. Not in a way that will make a bit of difference in the delegate race, but he'll pull Indiana out.

either himself (by letting it quietly die) or down ballot Democratic candidates who will be running in November.

You do realize that this has nothing to do with Hillary. Whether Obama seeks congressional support today or in November after elections is a moot point with Hillary because she's not currently a member of Congress.
