Current Popular Vote and Pledged Delegate Standings - Math

Popular vote
Clinton, Hillary Diane Rodham 8,651,686 57.53%
Sanders, Bernard "Bernie" 6,116,833 40.68%

Pledged Delegates
Clinton, Hillary Diane Rodham 1086 58.6%
Sanders, Bernard "Bernie" 768 41.4%

The percentages have remained pretty much unchanged for quite some time, and are about the same as they were before March 15. We're halfway through the primaries, and things are holding at about the same percentages overall.

I do not expect this to change significantly through the rest of the primaries.

the thing that tells the story. There's no emotional content and no wishful thinking in those numbers. They are what they are.

These percentages have stayed remarkably stable. That tells a story that can't be argued against, really. It is simply what the voters are telling us, I think.

I think it's going to be about 60% to 40% in Hillary's favor at the end of the primary elections. But, that's just a prediction. I'll let the numbers speak for themselves, as they have been doing.
