Voters In Texas, Ohio, Vermont And Rhode Island Don’t Want Superdelegates To Decide It

(CNN) â€” In what may be bad news for Clinton, Democrats across all four states overwhelmingly say they want super delegates to vote based on which candidate finishes ahead in the pledged delegate count at the end of the primary season.

Majorities of Democrats in Texas (62 percent), Ohio (61 percent), Rhode Island (57 percent) and Vermont (66 percent) all said the super delegates should cast their vote for the primary winner, not for who they think can best win in November.

The math simply does not work for Hillary on her road to the nomination, and the voters don’t favor her superdelegate strategy.

So what now?

Hillary Wins Rhode Island

That’s the projection from CNN.

And it’s looking increasingly obvious that she’ll win Ohio, so that makes 2 wins tonight for Hill. Texas is still up in the air.

Exit Polls In Vermont, Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island

Josh Marshall has the scoop…

I’m looking at the second wave of exit polls. They show an Obama blowout in Vermont, which was entirely expected and basically dead even in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island, the latter two of which would be pretty substantial surprises.

But again, these are exit polls, and they haven’t been incredibly reliable this primary season.

Still, Josh is right…ties in Ohio and Rhode Island would be big surprises.

I’m not holding my breath…
