do we get to say one mississippi, two mississippi as we count down. it's now 8:00 p.m. eastern time. we can tell you the following. nbc news, msnbc are projecting that when all the votes are counted, hillary clinton will be the democratic victor and we are authorized to say this is a significant win for the clinton campaign for the democrats in mississippi. now, moving over to the right for the republicans. the race characterized as too early to call. donald trump leads for the republicans in mississippi. ted cruz is in second place. kasich and rubio, quote, trail far behind. that's how the race looks at 8:01 eastern time. our first poll closing of the evening. >> obviously, the main contest there is for first place. too early to call on the republican side is important. there may also be a momentum consequence in terms of the very bottom of the race in mississippi. if john kasich and marco rubio are both far behind the two men who are in first and second place, if that means that marco rubio could be placing fourth in mississippi, that will have consequences for the ov

if dr mississippi, can ted cruz make a play in mississippi?now donald trump thinks he can win the state. why is that important? it's important for the delegates but also important if you look at the momentum across the south. trump wants to say this is the base of the republican party. that's pretty impressive. michigan, will trump be surprised here? will he get the bulk of the 59 delegates? again, first place, second place, third matters, too, for delegates but for donald trump he wants to win here because he wants to fill in that map to say now not only am i winning in the base of the party in the south, i'm winning in the industrial midwest. donald trump is hoping by the time we get to the 15th if he runs the board tonight and runs the board on the 15th, game over. which is why this is so important. in a stop-trump movement, kasich has to win ohio. stop-trump movement, it would help if rubio would win florida. if that were to happen, alone, next week and trump won everything else, he's still ahead but the other guys can at least make the ar

she did not really come to mississippi. neither did bernie sanders but bill clinton did come here and campaign on hillary clinton's behalf. hillary clinton coming out with the win tonight, no big surprise on the democratic side, john. >> let's talk republicans for a second now. the polls show that donald trump has been leading and yet some republicans, especially ted cruz, is pointing to louisiana, where it got very tight despite what the polls said, right? >> yeah, you know, donald trump as the people have been saying has sort of so far swept the deep south. he also did well a week ago on super tuesday but on saturday in louisiana he only won by four percentage points. the question is can he win mississippi and if he does win, will he win by a big margin. ted cruz hopes to come out on top. his campaign said at this point mississippi is a big question mark. ted cruz got a big endorsement by mississippi's governor. if ted cruz can win, he can make the argument that donald trump is losing support in the south and if he z win

that, i think, is showing in mississippi and mississippi.is sustaining the trump right through up until today. >> we're seeing a last three or four contests a little bit of a trend in that late deciders are not going for donald trump. his loyalty, his base are the people who he had support from since the very beginning. and you are seeing that play ouf2%9 about the last three or four states. but, the biggest thing, charles, seems to be a want for an outsider. a want for somebody to go in there and kick the table over and start over and anger about washington. >> well, i do think that's the theme and the motif and what trump has captured. there are a lot of people competing for that idea, specifically cruz. but trump is basically saying, look, it's not so much my ideas or proposals they shift, it seems to have no effect. he says stuff that is occasionally outrageous, no effect. it is exactly that. i mean, very high numbers who say they feel betrayed by the republican leadership. if that's the case, there's nothing that you want to defend in t

michigan and mississippi. mississippi is in the deep south. one of the states is a large african-american voting population on the democratic side. these are states where hillary clinton has done well up to now. michigan is where everyone is looking. the first industrial northern state to vote in the campaign. it is a state where both campaigns have competed hard. >> the same reason that michigan is amenable to trump and also help bernie sanders. if he is going to make his stands anywhere, it has to be that class commentary works where people are feeling strained a little bit. it is looking like it is heading in hillary's direction. if bernie has any life left, that is where he will show it. >> does he need to win or show up well? >> it would be nice for him to win. i don't know anyone who democratic politics who gives bernie that realistic chance of winning the nomination. a strong second place would give us something to talk about. winning would be real. i'm not sure either one would happen. >> two states on the ballot today for them. the re

in mississippi. we also have a key race alert on the republican side right now. on the republican side, take a look another this. these are estimates based on our exit polls as of right now, donald trump is with 45% -- excuse me, 49% based on the exit poll. 36% ted cruz. marco rubio and john kasich, they're back at only 7% each. remember, these are exit polls. these exit polls are estimates based on our early survey of voters as they left their polling locations. the final outcome may be different. we can expect, in fact, those numbers to change throughout the night, but those are the initial exit poll numbers we can share with you. we have projected hillary clinton is the winner in mississippi tonight. ic i want to go to jeff zeleny, our reporter in cleveland tonight, where the clinton headquarters are. i assume the folks behind you, they're going to get pretty happy once they hear we projected hillary clinton is the winner in mississippi, joe. >> reporter: they certainly are, wolf. that's going to

formerly of mississippi. >> real mississippi. >> yes. >> so looking at mississippi, is there anything about the mississippi electorate, about what you understand about your home state, that tells you if ted cruz is going to have a shot at breaking donald trump's hold on the deep south tonight. >> it was interesting, because i went down to mississippi on thursday night and actually watched the debate there with some people who were trump supporters and it was a nice mix. and then the debate really did make an impression. it was negative for trump and for rubio in particular. a lot of people said they looked more favorably at kasich, this is my unscientific focus group. talking to different voters, it was interesting, because trump is a middle finger vote i would say. >> the one finger salute. >> exactly. and i wonder, there really did seem to be hesitation, how much i do want to, you know, i admire trump for speaking out, but i don't know if he could govern responsibly. maybe ted cruz or maybe john kasich. it's going to be interesting to watch i think. >> did you get the sense that the

mississippi, idaho and hawaii. just a few hours away from learning the results, which could answer a whole lot of questions. we have the first batch of exit polling coming in. david chalian going through the numbers now. we'll bring him in momentarily. of course our correspondents across the map. polling places in campaign stops, bringing you the latest, as well as best team of analysts around. let start with cnn's sara murray with the trump campaign. what is donald trump's message? concerned about losing me mentum if he doesn't win tonight? >> reporter: well, wolf, donald trump has had a quiet day today. he hasn't been campaigning but when he was in mississippi last night he was bragging about how he's ahead in the polls by 20 points. but he was careful to remind voters you need to slow up and vote. i think that's a reality of the situation. cal pain goes into tonight wanting to win as many delegates as possible especially michigan, mississippi. so a loss in either of the states would be a blow to them. but also l

in mississippi?t is a good question. important absolutely. especially for the texas senator. it is foretelling many will argue it is not the case especially after seeing what happened this may over the weekend during the super saturday caucus event. in may paul lepage's endorsement of donald trump was not enough to lead voters to the polling location and was a different situation. of course we will have to wait and see what happens at the end of the day when the numbers come in as the voters head to polling locations like this one to see if the bryant endorsement is enough to carry cruz over the finish line. >> how does the turn out look so far in mississippi? >> it is interesting. we have seen it come in waves. this is the quietest it's been. we expect another group of voters coming in soon. especially since the lunch hour. the process is simple, they walk in and go to the table behind me on the left or perhaps on the right and pick up the republican ballot. it's not necessarily who the voters want

lynch and mississippi secretary of state, james hill. working together, this trio successfully asserted control over the state party system. at least temporarily. they used the alliance to promote well-qualified applicants, black and white, into federal jobs, to try to safeguard voting rights and to build an organizational platform to further reform. maintaining this alliance was not an easy task. battles often erupted between lynch and hill, particularly over patronage appointments. when disputes threatened the alliance, shrewd and tactful bruce intervened and worked out a compromise to preserve the alliance into the 1880s. once again, the man between. despite such efforts, the end of reconstruction ultimately ended republican control of southern political institutions. this denied bruce a second term. his senate career ended march 3rd, 1881. 86 years would pass before another african-american, ed brook, of massachusetts, would serve as a u.s. senator. leaving the senate did not end bruce's political career. but now his opportunities ca

in mississippi, 36. in bernie sanders had a great night, if he wins am itch gan say by ten points, this is a proportional allocation system. ten point win would probably be 70 to 60 in the delegates. now, mississippi, southern state, big black population, we've been seeing hillary clinton destroy bernie sanders in states like this. if that pattern holds, of the 36 delegates, takes about 28. 28-8, plus 20 for hillary clinton. so you look at those two together, hillary clinton would actually gain ten delegates tonight, despite losing michigan. that's a great scenario for bernie sanders in michigan and still fall further behind in the allocated column. that's the problem for bernie sanders. when you're losing the black vote by the margin he is losing it, there are too many states where you're going to fall behind in the delegate count. >> so many have phonifocused on super delegate math, but that's complete aside from what you just described there, that proportional allocation is going to be deadly if thing

after the war, he became a planter in mississippi. up next, the u.s. capitol historic society hosts a panel discussion on senator bruce in honor of black history month. due to technical problems, early remarks are not included. this program runs about 40 minutes. was born intoce slavery in 1841. his experience with slavery was far from typical. the son of an enslaved woman and ast likely her white master, a young boy, he lived in virginia, mississippi, and misery. with his parentage, this light-skinned bruce became a favorite of the master and a servant and playmates to the master's son. bruce once referred to himself as the plantation's pet. as such, he was given opportunities denied to most enslaved boys, including an education. from his early years, blanche k bruce waslanche k. the man between. i call this talk today "the man between: the senate career of -- of blanche k. bruce." to political prominence is a remarkable story. when the civil war began, the 21-year-old left his masters plantation and fled to freedom in the new state of kansas. "i deci

let me put up mississippi first. and we've got both 2012 and 2016, so people can see the comparisons. very conservative electorate, in this case, white evangelicals is what we're putting up now. 76% of it in this one compared to 2012. here's the ideological numbers up for folks. the very conservative number is up from four years ago, up to 50%. somewhat conservative also up from four years ago to 34%. the moderate or liberal number very down. and i'll pause throwing out numbers there. that could very well be the open nature of the mississippi primary, where democrats had a democratic primary to go vote in. and therefore making the republican electorate slightly more conservative, that should be good news for a ted cruz, for instance, no? >> well, it's what we've seen across the early voting states so far, is that there is a more conservative electorate that's coming out to vote. and fundamentally, all the age and education, income, those things seem to be pretty steady. so it's a pretty exciting and different set of

mississippi voters.ed on trump, and they really had second thoughts after that debate. so i think that that's just a microcosm for on the whole, that debate actually did some damage to trump. but it also did a lot of damage to rubio, too. he came in hard, attacking trump on trump's level. and unfortunately, i think that's raheally backfired, kindf like christie, when he attacked rubio, he took out himself in the process. he might have hurt rubio, but took himself out. i think we are seeing kasich rising a little bit, cruz dropping, and trump -- who knows if it's enough. >> there are some calls saying, it's time for you to get out. he's lost 18 contests. he's been good trying to spin second, third, and even fourth places, but he's lost 18 of the 20 contests so far. what's the path for him? >> i think there's absolutely no way he's going to get out until after florida. and if he does lose there, the path for him is that he has to win florida, and he also really needs to win ohio. he really needs to win ill

have in mississippi? another one of the states where there's a large african-american turnout, and bernie sanders has not been able to break through with those democratic voters. here's the overall delegate count. and here's why it's a big problem tonight. hillary clinton is up by almost 200 delegates. just the pledged delegates, and not the super delegates. and this is a difficult margin to bring down at this stage of the race. bernie sanders would have to be 45% of the way. so again, this could be a tough night for bernie sanders. and the question is, can he bring this number down at all? or is hillary clinton going to extend it? let's look at the biggest battle ground, the biggest state. the state of mississippi again, 8:00 eastern, and this will be interesting. it's a state that ted cruz thought that he might be able to do well in against donald trump. donald trump had been leading in some of the polls, but like the other republican states, the numbers have been getting tighter. michigan of course, th

first from mississippi then michigan. idaho and hawaii. it's getting really interesting for all of us. paulo sandoval starts out with with what voters have been calling him tonight in jackson,villevilljackson mississippi. how busy has it been where you are? >> reporter: a steady flow and the 12-hour window for people in mississippi to close theast the ballot. we expect the after work crowd to begin to make their way. what's interesting here, wolf, the moment the people walk in, decisions to be made, go to the republican table or the democratic primary table to my right, after where they take their ballots and cast them and make their way out of here. we really have seen a mix of voters here, wolf. we have seen obviously people voting on the democratic side and then what's interesting here, too, many of these crossover voters as well, so here in mississippi, a state that's now sharing the spotlight with three others on this second super tuesday, it's not necessarily just about the people who are voting for the person that they want to win,

let's talk about what clinton did right in mississippi. she did win mississippi there. she won black voters there. josh, you're right, it's not a monolithic voting bloc there at all, she has done well there as well as in south carolina and other areas of the south. she did well when someone was looking for somebody honest and trustwort trustworthy, which is interesting since all this comment about the e-mail and the like. what went right for her -- in michigan, sanders won honest and trustwort trustworthy. why is the story different in these two states? >> hillary clinton's relationship with african-american voters in the south is longstanding. that is a group that supports her overwhelmingly. we saw that in the south carolina primary. we saw that on super tuesday. look, for the hillary clinton campaign, despite the inroads that sanders has made with african-americans in michigan, she continues to have a broad base of support among some of those key minority groups. you certainly -- you will continue to see that turnout in several states across the map, not just in the

. >> one mississippi, two mississippi, that's about how long it took for hillary clinton to win the southern primary. but as the night wore on, bernie sanders defied the polling to pull off a big win in michigan. plus, three more wins for donald trump. one for ted cruz and marco rubio, well, he came up short once again. >>> and a bizarre twist in the case of a pastor who was shot just one day after praying with ted cruz. the scene of the crime was idaho, but the suspect, he was arrested just outside the white house. it's 5:30 on the east coast, 2:30 out west. this is "way too early." >>> good morning. it's wednesday, march 9th, i'm jonathan capehart. we'll have those stories and breaking news, the man known as the fifth beatle, george martin, has died at the age of 90. >>> it was a big night for the republicans when all was said and done, donald trump claimed victory in three of the four states up for grabs with wins across the country and the sea. trump won in mississippi where he took 47% of the vote. in michigan, early this morning in hawaii's caucus. ted cruz claimed a win in idaho with

keep an eye on mississippi, where kasich and his team made a push. he was in the state for last super tuesday seven days ago. as you said, it's all about michigan for john kasich's campaign. they started the campaign targeting that state as a potential win, started ratcheting back expectations weeks prior. now they feel good about it. there's a good reason why. they spent more than $900,000 in the state between the campaign and supported super pac. as john kasich said, he camped out there for the last week. they don't -- they are not predicting a win of any sorts but feel like they've been rising, possibly clinching second-place finish would be a big, big night tonight. obviously all eyes on ohio, must-win state for john kasich next week, a big finish in michigan could give him much-needed momentum as he heads down here. >> phil mattingly. >> joining us, cnn chief national correspondent and host of "inside politics" john king. chief political analyst, gloria borger, senior political analyst david gergen, nia-malika henderson, kalin mcaneenny, bakari

latest from mississippi. >> reporter: donald trump was rallying a crowd of thousands in mississippi last night. just hours before voters in this state and three others head to the polls today. trump and his campaign made it clear that mississippi and michigan are their top prizes today. these are both very delegate rich states. as trump was talking to voters in mississippi, he had an eye on florida and taking swipes at marco rubio. >> and we have little marco rubio. when we had chris christie endorse me two weeks ago, when chris was on the stage, chris is the governor of new jersey, but former prosecutor and tough cookie. i thought honestly marco was going to faint. he was choking like a dog. he was pouring down sweat. chris hit him once. he said the obama thing. remember the phrase. he did it again and again and again. after the fifth time, you see the size of that hand? look at that. i was going to grab him to show him how strong that hand is. he made that sucker up. i was going to say, marco, i won't let you fall. i don't want you to get hurt. >> reporter: as soon as we get past the s

something like 60% african america vote in mississippi. that would be the largest ratio of any contest so far. hillary clinton will get the line share of mississippi delegates. that will be important. look at what is happening with the delegates in michigan. bernie sanders has 27,000 votes. hillary clinton is not going to make this up with the votes that are still outstanding in detroit. almost 60/40. go blue. bernie sanders, of course, counting on those younger voters to help him. this is going to be something of a setback for democratics and something that causes heart burn when they think about november because like donald trump, bernie sanders is against free trade. it has been a central theme of his campaign. hillary clinton message has been little less. hillary clinton would be to the right of donald trump on this issue. that's not a place that the democrats want them to be >>> it has been an interesting night. thanks. thanks for joining us for the latest news. you can go to aljazeera.com for all the news. >> mao zedung said that wom

give us sort of the sense of where we are right now in mississippi. >> in the past, mississippi doesn't get polled very often. we're a small state, not very interesting. the data we have shows that trump not that long ago had a 24-point lead. he won't win by 24 points. cruz in the last couple days, the week in the last debate, closed that significantly snop we saw that in louisiana. the polling was very different what it ended up being. >> but there are two features. trump appeals to the anger and the frustration and cruz has better credentials with conservatives and christians. which is more effective at mobilizing voters? >> this is nothing scientific. i'm a mississippi native and enjoy talking to people about who they'll vote for. john kasich is an interesting option but they're worried my vote won't count. why should i vote for kasich if my vote won't count. i find that interesting looking at michigan because there it could pay off. how could kasich see a little momentum just by being another option? i think rubio has hurt himself with his attacks on trump. >> perfect transition. le

in mississippi, nbc news projects hillary clinton is the winner. on the republican side, in mississippi, donald trump is the winner it next up, michigan, where the final polls close in less than a half hour, that michigan race is widely seen as key to the survival of bernie sanders. our poll shows sanders trailing clinton nationally benign points. let's begin with casey hunt. >> reporter: for bernie sanders tonight, michigan is a showdown. >> michigan has the opportunity to move this country forward. let's go. >> today's primary likely his last chance to prove he's a real contender. >> this is a significant state for me. and for secretary clinton. >> sanders is winning smaller states. so far, he's fallen behind in the big diverse states where more delegates are at stake. >> he's running out of time. it's larger, and important states going, he's going to have to have an unexpected win in order to change the objective of the race. >> sanders is closing the gap. he's drawn huge crowds on college campuses and found strong support in union halls. >> peo

"it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable that it happened in mississippi. think about that it now, mississippi."but it's so rooted in music man, it goes really really deep." mississippi is known to be the birthplace of american music, and the delta is known as the birthplace of the blues. executive director of the grammy museum in los angeles, bob santelli says it was that combination that led his team magnolia state."when we looked to start expanding, we looked at big cities. the logical place would be new york city or chicago or some place like that, but american music by in large, evolved out of mississippi and if you're going to start putting museums elsewhere outside of los angeles, i think the only place to start, and everyone on my team agrees, has to be mississippi."the museum features everything that deals with the the grammy's, including instruments that were played by popular artists such as the late b.b. king's famous guitar, lu-seal.as well as outfits that were worn by various artists during the grammy shows."a lot of the things you do in there

hillary clinton has won the mississippi. bernie sanders is holding a lead in a race that is too close. on the republican donald trump was the big winner in both. david shut terror joins us with the-- shuster joins us. >> reporter: all of those attacks on donald trump, where they have come from, they have done nothing to his march. he has 14 state contests. contest number 13 was in the state of michigan. the big prize donald trump will walk away with 21 delegates. he has a margin of victory wider over john kasich than a lot of people had anticipated. again, a decisive win for him in the industrial mid-west. he also got a big victim free in mississippi. there are more votes to be counted but it would suggest that he reached about 50% for the first time in this nomination contest, over 50% there and this would suggest that trump's feeling continues to get higher not loe as the republican establishment has been trying to argue. let's turn to the democrats. hillary clinton, well, she has another victory for her in the south 83 to

the clinton campaign celebrating that big win in mississippi. that secretary clinton's southern firewall, but they really want to win in michigan. that would solidify her status as the democratic front on the other hand, senator sanders really needs to win michigan, to prove that he's viable in larger more diverse states. for the past few secretary clinton had been hammering senator sanders for his he's been pushing back record. still, it's an issue state like michigan where they credit the bailout with saving millions of it also resonates in ohio which votes next week. michigan is clinton officials tell me they're eager to pivot to the general election. particularly if he takes on donald trump. tells me, it's going to be critical that general election voters don't get invested in him if clinton wants to win. right now she's that are ahead in thelegate count. michigan will be key to her moving forward. lester? >> let's turn now to chuck todd. your take in what we're seeing so far this evening? >> go back on the republican side. it's almost like

what factors explain the strength of trump in mississippi?izing my cultural prowess. look, the people for donald trump and the people against him, in my opinion, are both very practical in nature, not ideological. , how aree for him say we going to do anything different if we have the same people going up there? they believe it is a change from the status quo. that is why they are hard to move if they hear something that might be negative. some of the people opposed to him are opposed for the reason, maybe some of them for the substantive reasons mitt romney laid out. some of them for the practical reasons they are worried about him winning the general election. the reasons why mitt romney lost , donald trump may have those on steroids. however, he seems to be able to tervanize a blue-collar vo crowd that is the same constituency that governor bryant had. is an interesting thing to someone who brags about how great his club is in a certain area, at the same time please a stadium full of blue-collar voters who would never think of going somewh

look to mississippi, also., this idea that mississippi could look a lot like louisiana, potentially, if you see some of those late-breaking voters swing over towards the antihch trump candidate, in this case, ted cruz. in michigan, i think the campaign is just really hoping to make sure they hit that 15% threshold to get delegates, period. and then hawaii is kind of the big question mark. donald trump could play well there. you could also maybe see marco rubio do okay in hawaii. bottom line, though, cruz is hoping to seize on whatever he can to say, hey, i've got the momentum, look what i'm doing, i can make this a two-man race between donald trump and me. and essentially force the establishment to come over into his direction. now, the challenge for him, as we've been talking about, is the calendar, right? you have states that aren't traditionally seen as favorable for ted cruz when you move forward. cruz talked about that a little bit today at his event in rally, that we're on our way from as we head over fro

they went for kasich in mississippi they went for cruz. in florida can rubio make a case to stay in? i don't know. i don't know what their thinking is. i'm not the kind of person that tells someone to get out of a race. >> if marco doesn't become nominee, it is well whispered he would like to run for governor of florida. earlier today we drew stagnant in talking about cnn which ran with the story saying rubio is going to drop out of the race, then, cnn had to back track that. it turned out not to be backed by anyone in the rubio campaign. i don't believe people run for president because they want to have another office. ed gillespie in virginia. republicans maybe didn't want to win that said he wants to be governor. and he lost by half a percentage point because of that. i don't think that rubio runs for president because he wants to be governor of florida. and i don't think kasich runs for president because he wants to be vice president. >> your thoughts on the evening? >> you stole my point. i thought the biggest thing is in that press c

she did win in mississippi. >> that's right.sive win tonight and i think the big question now looking forward is what this means if anything for the upcoming states, especially ohio which is so similar in many ways to michigan when it comes to the electorate and people still feeling pain when it comes to trade and so forth. what do you think, david? >> i think wolf asked the key question is don't you need to win more than 51-49. the answer is yes, you do. so there is the math here and there is the wake up call moment for the hillary clinton campaign that they can't put the nomination race in the rearview mirror, but the delegate math is how you win the nomination and although this is a big victory for him, it's not going to make a dent, in fact she'll emerge tonight with more delegates and the debate tomorrow night is going to be focussed on a lot of hispanic issues related to the hispanic community. so it also is happening in florida, those two things probably make hillary clinton feel that the day after this loss she might be

donald trump winning in mississippi and michigan where john kas showing. ted cruz the projected winner in idaho and marco rubio finishing >> donald trump's ability to pick up the bulk of the m legates shows e has virtually been ineffective. >> bernie sanders is promising the best is yet to come after his big win in michigan. abc's liz kreutz begins our coverage from cleveland. good morning, liz. >> reporter: good morning, kendis and reena. hillary clinton took the stage here in cleveland, ohio, last night not even mentioning those races in mississippi and michigan. that one turning out to be much closer than her campaign expected. bernie sanders, the comeback kid? overnight, the vermont senator eking out a surprise victory in michigan. >> the bernie sanders campaign, the political revolution that we are talking about is strong in every part of the country. we believe that our strongest areas are yet to happen. >> reporter: for hillary clinton, an embarrassing loss. al mississippi, her campaign was hoping to lead by double digits hillary, bill, and chelsea

that said, tonight mississippi's governor endorsed ted cruz. we'll see in mississippi. the other holes in the map in the south right now are north carolina and florida. both of them will be voting next week. then the whole southern part of the primary will be over next week. here's the thing about this next week. the whole reason everybody's already talking about florida, which votes a week from tomorrow. the reason everyone is talking about florida a week before they vote when there's all these other states between now and then, the reason talking about there only been seven days to stop donald trump from winning florida and winning the republican nomination is because there's only seven days for republicans to stop donald trump from winning florida and there by winning the republican nomination. mississippi and michigan are going to vote tomorrow. they matter for sure. mississippi and michigan combined have the same number of delegates that will be at stake in florida alone. in florida, whoever wins in the state of florida, wins all of those delegates. mathematically

in mississippi, the number? >> in mississippi -- okay massachusetts?massachusetts, and look at big states, he is not outperforming that well. bottom line. neil: you are kidding me. >> south carolina, tennessee, arkansas, they are not big states, but in ag gat. >> so what. >> donald trump is getting state after state after state. >> 38% of vote. neil: kennedy? >> i still think he will be the nominee, i do. i think that the republican party is, foolish if they think they will thwart the will of most voters. >> 38% of people. >> you know he has done so badly so many ways talking about forcing military commanders to perform illegal actions, and still that stuff did you not hurt him, he can rebound. >> i don't think -- listen -- >> not a matter of what i want it is logic, he has more support, he is able to -- >> you get 38% of vote, major states you are not going to be the nominee. >> but 38% of vote against 3 other people. >> that say good point but. >> that is a different story. >> lou was saying. >> but wait, see look at delegate count, if it goes to tha

we haven't seen marco rubio in mississippi yet. >> arielle, thank you, we will be watching mississippi when the voting ends and ballots counted 33 2 delegates will be handed out. dan springer is live in boise, dan? >> yeah, greta, as you can see behind me the voting continues here in idaho. the polls will be open another two and a half hours in southern idaho where i am. three and a half hours up in the north which is in thel'w pacific time zone. a lot left to do here in idaho. turnout has been light unlike thepi[ other states that you have mentioned and other states this primary season. this is a closed primary, so only registered republicans can vote. people can register today, but that doesn't seem to be happening a lot. polls taken inz january and february show donald trump in the lead, followed by senators ted cruz and marco rubio. but that was before the debate last week on fox and the attacks on trump for mitt romney and other prominent republicans. we have spoken with some trump supporters today who are fed up with the status quo. but more people told us they voted for cruz, sa

michigan, mississippi, idaho and hawaii. democrats are competing in two states, michigan and mississippi. nationwide, there are some brand new signs, folks, the races are getting tight er. donald trump beats ted cruz by nine points in the new poll out from abc and the "washington post." in january that gap was 16 points. among the democrats, hillary clinton leads bernie sanders by seven points, but again back in january, that was a lot bigger lead. it was 19 points back then. even newer poll, literally released a moment ago from nbc, the "wall street journal" has a similar view of the democratic race, hillary clinton leading bernie sanders by nine points. in january, she was down by 25. sanders was down by 25 in january. you can see how things have been changing as the campaigns get tighter. polls in michigan suggest that a super tuesday indeed could be ahead for the front runners of both parties. trump and clinton. but the only numbers that matter right now are the vote totals and that means you folks. it also means jean ca

you know, she won big in mississippi.ou have to give it to bernie sanders for winning michigan. c congratulations to him and his team. here's how he won. he focused on the thing that michiganders care so deeply about, jobs and the economy and trade. there's two parts to this trade message, though. one is you have to have tough trade agreements. you have to make sure that you're not facilitating the offshoring of jobs, but the second part is you have to have a robust economic development strategy to create jobs in america in a global economy. she has both parts of that message. but i think that last night signaled that she's really got to be loud and vocal about both parts of that. >> exit polls in michigan shows bernie sanders did well with voter who said honesty and trustworthiness were the most important quality. they say sanders and honest and trustworthy. 80%. for clinton, it was 57%. why do you think that still is a problem? >> i mean, i do honestly believe because of the years of -- and millions of dollars that have

you saw donald trump campaigning here in mississippi. mississippi and michigan are the two big prizes they'll be looking at. and he was here tonight rallying a huge crowd and saying, look, we are up in the polls. still make sure you turn out and vote. we want to win this state. this is our top prize for tomorrow. they still feel like they're in a good position because they're leading in the delegate count and looking forward to a number of these states that show them ahead in the polls. even if this gets down to a two-person race. >> ted cruz had a new event today to his schedule to try to do that? >> that's right. he added a couple new events to his schedule today. this saul coming after super saturday where ted cruz had a great night. came out with more delegates than donald trump. the cruz campaign wants to sprint to the finish. they feel their momentum is on the upswing. they don't want to look back and say if we'd only done one more event or talked to a couple more voters we might to gotten over the hump in a place like michigan or

hillary clinton also winning in mississippi. so far, too close to call for the democrats in michigan. and that is a huge story for bernie sanders tonight. if he is able to win the state of michigan, over hillary clinton, who had double digit leads and significant leads going into this night, it would be a big moment for bernie sanders and his campaign. >> that's quite something. we want to turn to the fox news digital politics editor and media analyst and host howard kurtz. what do you make of that? >> any question in the mind of donald trump's rivals about how to get his goat, talk about the business. the stuff with trump steaks that with respect trump steaks and the trump wert and the trump this and the trump that, that's how you get him. there's no merit of conservative apostasies because the supporters, if there's a big-away of trump and the performance, he did poorly over the weekend in closed contests and only republicans to vote. he did fine tonight, he matched expectations in mississippi and michigan where they were open

he's right there in mississippi. he's right there -- i mean, he wins idaho, he's right there in hawaii. ted cruz -- >> michigan, in fact, they did a one-to-one and cruz won just one-to-one against trump in the exits. >> i mean, you go with every one of those states, ted cruz, again, sort of overlooked last night because donald trump was the first headline and marco rubio's collapsed. 5% in mississippi. the second headline. but look at cruz, he's 36% in mississippi, he wins idaho. this really is quickly turning into a two-man race. >> it is. and the question going forward is now we have more contests coming on tuesday so, you know, is it -- if trump gets the next tuesday -- and i hate to skip ahead from last night's results to next week's but that's the question you're asking. >> it's all a that matters now. >> if trump beats kasich in ohio and trump beats rubio in florida. >> it's over. >> then you have a two map race between trump and cruz. trump may have a delegate lead that makes it hard for him to be stopped but

. ♪ my friend mississippi primary.e'll have more on this democratic election result but first, let's talk about the republican side and i've been running numbers and they haven't lied, nor will they. time for mitt romney and the establishment to stop dividing the g.o.p. that is my opinion. take it or leave it. kg, your thoughts on the results? >> an exciting evening for sure, and you know, we're talking about that attack that turned out to be interesting. trump and cruz had very good nights tonight. strong showings, strong numbers. and also, you know with the polls that we've been seeing and analyzing over the past couple weeks. now, the question remains you know marco rubio didn't do as well as he would like to do tonight. there is going to have to be a reexamination in terms of where he should go as a candidate as well, but florida is still up for grabs. trump leading there. but there is going to have to be an assessment if there is a party unify looking to have a cruz and rubio unite together, pick one, etc., to go

michigan and mississippi. our senior political correspondent brianna keilar is live in miami with more. >> reporter: big stakes today for democrats in michigan and mississippi, especially michigan, which is rather delegate rich. and the race is pretty close between bernie sanders and hillary clinton. polls show clinton ahead. i'm hearing from both camps they think this is tighter than we have seen in the polls. we just saw bernie sanders last night at a fox news town hall cleaning up an answer he gave during the cnn debate taking about racial blind spots. if you're white, you don't understand what it is like living in a ghetto. >> in african-american communities you have people living in desperation, often being abused by white police officers. that is a bad thing. that's got to change. i'm fighting to reform a broken criminal justice system. i know about white poverty. it exists in my state is and all across the country. >> many jumped on him for suggesting that only black people live in ghettos. hillary clin

. >> michigan and mississippi. mississippi we got basically an instant call. we know that will be a very large margin for hillary clinton right now with 95% of the vote in in mississippi. she's winning 83%-16%, so that will be just an absolutely huge margin. what's important there, though, is that bernie sanders is above 15% in mississippi, so that means he won't get blanked in delegates, but he will not get very many. hillary clinton will get the vast majority in this very tight race in michigan, which took us 2 1/2 hours after poll closing time, 3 1/2 hours after we got our first data out of michigan, before we were finally able to make a call. this will go down as effectively, obviously, a sanders win, but effectively, a split in terms of the delegates here. so, they're going to split them in michigan. she's going to win the vast majority in mississippi. she's going to have the better night overall, but in terms of momentum and bragging rights and what sanders wants to be able to make as his case for the way this campaign is going to unfold and why he's sti

michigan and mississippi for the democrats. delegates at stake. 166 for the democrats. 150 delegates for the republicans. this is why this is important. look at some of this delegate map as you go forward. donald trump has won 43% of the republican delegates. to date, that is. he needs to win 54% of the remaining delegates to clinch. ted cruz with his advance on super saturday, 33% so far. he needs 60%. you see the hill is steeper. so far not so good and the future steeper hill for marco rubio and john kasich. that number looks big for donald trump. but, remember, after the 15th, we're in winner take all territory. you win in florida, ohio, illinois, new york or pennsylvania down the road and those percentages start to drop. but that's the map heading in. let's look quickly at the democratic map as we go forward too. this is just pledge delegates. hillary clinton has won 59%. if she keeps that consistency going out, she'll clinch the nomination with just pledge delegates. a steeper hill for bernie sanders. but, remember, to tha
