Clinton now faces struggle to win back younger voters

Clinton saw significant victories on Tuesday night, while Sanders received 164 fewer delegates than the democratic front-runner.

-"I can't get excited for Bernie Sanders". Sorry Sanders, your home state of Vermont tends to be slow to report. It's expected to be Clinton's closest state in the South. So how well Sanders actually does in the voter tally, in addition to illustrating how many delegates he'll get in the state, will be a very interesting signal about his future competitiveness. Even as Clinton has racked up a commanding lead in the contest, she's overwhelmingly losing voters between ages 18 and 29 in early-voting states.

With 865 delegates at stake, Clinton is assured of gaining at least 508 for Super Tuesday, having won seven states and the American Samoa. In Texas, black turnout was 19 percent; in both Tennessee and Virginia, it was roughly 30 percent; in Georgia, it was 51 percent that year, when Barack Obama was on the ballot against Clinton.

Utilities can request those rate increases, which are allowed under the current renewable energy mandate, in addition to broader periodic rate increases.

In six of the states on Tuesday, large majorities of Republican voters said they supported a proposal to temporarily ban all non-citizen Muslims from entering the United States, an idea championed by Trump.

The disarray among Republicans comes as Clinton appears to be tightening her grip on the Democratic field.

But as the contest has expanded past the largely white electorates of Iowa and New Hampshire, Sanders has struggled to capture support from the minority voters who make up a large piece of his party. But he's also been trying to make inroads among blacks, meeting with civil rights leaders and touting his civil rights work in the 1960s.

Devine pushed back on delegate math showing Clinton with a huge lead. But perhaps Democrats can still be persuaded to choose as their standard-bearer a candidate who believes that there are objectives more important than his own self-aggrandizement.

In the FiveThirtyEight weighted polling average, Clinton comes in at 50.9 percent, well ahead of Sanders at 43.2 percent. "Donald Trump is one who reminds me of people who started everything in Bosnia in the '90s", said Drljacic, who noted that he is Muslim.

Signalling her growing confidence, Clinton has increasingly turned her attention to Trump in recent days, casting herself as a civil alternative to the insults and bullying that have consumed the Republican race. However, media continues to shape opinions to the extent Republicans I know are trying to accommodate a Trump vote despite his demagoguery.
