C A note about caucus states: In these states (West Virginia, Kansas, Minnesota, North Dakota, Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, and American Samoa), voters meet in small groups to choose their nominee. Some caucuses may not release popular vote totals -- in this case, the indicated percentages refer to the proportion of delegates won. Delegate counts in some caucuses may also be tentative until officially decided at state party conventions.

A note about delegate counts: For both parties we count only pledged delegates, which are determined by voting results. Both Democrats and Republicans also award "unpledged delegates," also known as superdelegates, which aren't bound by election results. Pledged delegates are awarded according to procedures that vary by party and by state. For a complete breakdown of delegate procedures, see Larry Sabato's guide.

Hillary Clinton

Barack Obama

John McCain

Mitt Romney

Mike Huckabee
Delegates won as of Feb. 5 1219 1347 1178 259 250
Super-delegate projections S 193 106 16 9 3
Projected totals 1412 1453 1194 268 253
Needed to win 2025 1191

S Super delegates are party officials who are free to change their minds at any time until the party convention. So tallying up super delegate results now is a dodgy affair. Our count, here, comes from CNN's survey of super delegates.
