2016 Delegate Tracker

In order to become the Republican party's 2016 presidential nominee, hopefuls need to win the support of a majority of the 2,472 delegates to the GOP National Convention. The Democratic nominee will need to win a majority of the 4,765 delegates to the Democratic National Convention. The total number of delegates includes those who are pledged and unpledged. Each state party determines how each of type of delegate is allocated within the state. In cases where states use local caucuses or primaries to elect delegates to a state or congressional district convention, the AP projects how many delegates each candidate will be awarded. The AP interviews unpledged delegates to learn their preferences, which are also reflected in the delegate totals.

Missouri officials were reporting a high voter turnout, continuing a trend seen in other primaries so far in this cycle.

In the latest state poll, conducted by Fort Hayes State University, Clinton was in a statistical dead heat with her Democratic rival Sanders, who pulled off a stunning victory in Michigan last week.

Clinton polled at 47 percent, compared to 40 percent for Sanders. But the poll, conducted from March 3 to March 10, had an 8-percent margin of error.

FiveThirtyEight's projections give Clinton a 54-percent chance of winning the state based on demographics and results in past primaries. But the website's "polls-only forecast" has Clinton and Sanders in a dead heat.

Clinton leads Sanders in pledged delegates 768 to 554, and her 467 to 26 lead in super delegates has her with a sizable lead heading into Tuesday.

Sanders could cut into Clinton's lead with a win in Missouri, where 84 delegates are at stake.
