Super Tuesday Primary Elections Results (Live Coverage)









Daily Mail: Joe Biden gets a final poll bounce as 14 states vote for Super Tuesday: Former VP cuts into Bernie Sanders' lead in California after dramatic three-day turnaround and endorsements from THREE former rivals

* Democratic presidential hopefuls will face their biggest challenge yet as voters from 14 states and American Samoa head to the polls as part of 'Super Tuesday'
* About a third of all the Democratic National Convention delegates are up for grabs with the biggest prizes being California and Texas
* Super Tuesday comes directly after a major reshuffling of the race with moderate Democrats flocking to endorse former Vice President Joe Biden
* After losing three states in a row, Biden won big in South Carolina, getting a boost from the important African-American Democratic voting bloc
* Since the results came in, both Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar got out of the race and endorsed Biden in Dallas, Texas Monday night
* President Trump has inserted himself saying the Democrats orchestrated a 'coup' against Sanders, pointing to Biden's new wave of party support
* The Tuesday races will also finally show the impact of the hundreds of millions of dollars Michael Bloomberg has spent on his White House ambitions
* Elizabeth Warren turned her attention away from Bloomberg and instead warned 'nominating a fellow Washington insider will not meet this moment'
* Tulsi Gabbard, a House member from Hawaii, also remains in the race, and pitched to voters in American Samoa that she should be their pick

The final surveys taken before voters headed to the polls in 14 states and American Samoa on 'Super Tuesday' showed a big bounce for Joe Biden.

Biden, according to FiveThirtyEight.com, now has a better chance than Bernie Sanders of winning seven states, including Texas, where Biden campaigned Monday night and received a trio of endorsements from former rivals.

The final Data for Progress poll from California also showed Biden cutting into Sanders' commanding lead. In the new survey, Sanders leads the ex-veep by 7 points. In previous California polls he was besting Biden by as many as 21 points.

'Super Tuesday' matters because about a third of the delegates available to win the Democratic nomination - 1,357 in total - are up for grabs.

And since the last time voters went to the polls, the Democratic race has drastically changed.

WNU Editor: It is amazing on how much the U.S. main stream media shifted the tone of their coverage in the past few days. They are clearly not open to a Senator Sanders win, and they have thrown everything that they have to make former Vice President Biden "look good". But I am not sure if it is enough. They networks have exit poll results, but they are not disclosing the numbers on who is getting the most support .... Early exit polls show Super Tuesday voters made up their minds late (CNN). This tells me that the numbers favour Senator Sanders, because if it was favouring former Vice President Biden, we would be knowing these numbers right now. In addition. Most Democrat voters have already cast their ballot in early voting, so this "Biden surge" will not reflect that. Bottom line. This should be a good night for Senator Sanders. Either way we are going to find out for sure in the next few hours.
