Democratic Acela Corridor Tuesday results thread (all polls close at 8pm ET)

[Wells]

Benchmark Politics final benchmarks:

Those match my predictions pretty well:

Connecticut - Clinton 56; Sanders 44
Delaware - Clinton 61; Sanders 39
Maryland - Clinton 65; Sanders 35
Pennsylvania - Clinton 58; Sanders 42
Rhode Island - Clinton 47; Sanders 53

[Wells]

It looks like Connecticut could end up being pretty interesting.

Or the exit poll could be completely wrong again.

Does Clinton have a better shot than Sanders against Trump in a GE?:

MD: 73%
PA: 64%
CT: 63%

Democrats are as delusional as the Republicans.

Or...

Hillary Clinton is obviously the favorite for democrats but to say she has a better shot then Sanders when polls (the same polls that have Hillary up against Bernie) say otherwise across the board is just silly. She has a great shot at destroying him nationally but she still trails Sanders lead on him by 6.7% according to RCP.

Hillary Clinton would do better than Bernie Sanders under any and all circumstances. Hillary Clinton has been attacked a lot while Bernie Sanders has barely a scratch on him. And trust me, there are a lot of things you can attack, from his praise of Fidel Castro, raising taxes on the middle class, and pie-in-the-sky ideas which will never pass Congress. Bernie Sanders is a Republican's dream.

OMG JFERN SHUT UP!!

Sanders has not been attacked by the GOP campaign apparatus, inflating his numbers. Not saying Trump would beat him, but this argument is weak.

...and this argument isn't weak and non factual? Is anyone going to dislike Sanders more if they attack him and call him a socialist or communist a thousand more times? Yea i doubt it.

This will hurt him with your average low-information swing voter.

People don't care about the word socialism as much as they used to.

It will still hurt him with seniors. And not many people are going to vote for somebody who will raise their taxes as much as Sanders will.

[Wells]

lol, Sanders is leading in RI, but the NYT map has it shaded as Clinton lead.

[Wells]

Sanders won Foster County, RI. Coincidence? I think not. They know what she did.

[Wells]

Clinton's lead will inevitably widen in Connecticut.

[Wells]

Clinton's lead will inevitably widen in Connecticut.

What makes you think that? It looks like the results have been coming in fairly evenly across the state.

She's winning the relatively big cities. Do major population centers shift the vote in CT as much as in other states?

[Wells]

Any guesses on who is going to win Newtown?

Presumably, the candidate who smeared herself in the blood of dead children for political expediency!
