Overall popular vote has no impact on the assignment of pledged delegates.

Clinton is heavily favored in New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland where as estimates range from a close victory either way to leaning moderately to Sanders in Wisconsin.

My guess is he wins Wisconsin by around 7 to 10 percent taking a significant number of delegates (I believe Wisconsin gives 18 delegates to the statewide winner), but those will be more than offset by losses in the other three states.
