After five primaries on April 26, the Republican candidates only have the Indiana primary next week. The primary takes place Tuesday, May 3 and has 57 delegates at stake.
According to FiveThirtyEight, 30 delegates are awarded in winner-take-all fashion to the candidate with the most votes statewide. The remaining 27 delegates are split among nine congressional districts with each district getting three delegates. A candidate will be awarded three delegates for each congressional district he wins.
Ted Cruz will try to cut into Donald Trump’s lead. Early polling data shows Trump with a narrow lead on Cruz in Indiana. Trump swept all five of the April 26 primaries to increase his delegate lead. Cruz responded to the loss by reiterating the importance of Indiana.
Here’s a look at the latest Indiana GOP polls.

“...mounting air of inevitability...”
Excellent analysis!! Well put. Trump is going to win Indiana and Cruz is already in the rear view mirror (thank goodness!!)
Fork is ready!
No, I read it.
I just had a call from the Donald Trump campaign asking me if I planned on voting for him on Tuesday. I told them absolutely my husband and I both will be voting for Donald Trump on Tuesday! Very friendly caller.
Nice!!!
I think that any dedicated Cruz supporter at this point that hasn’t been completely alienated by his antics needs to get his or her head examined.
