The latestopinion polls put the Republican Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton for the Democrats ahead in allfive contests. Nick Bryant is on the campaign trail in Pennsylvania. It's unusual for theprimary contest to go this far. By the time voters in these northeastern states get to casttheir ballots, the race is normally over. On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton's big victory lastweek in New York not only ended a string of defeats, but also opened up an unassailable lead.This round of contest should make her the presumptive nominee. Gary O'Donoghue is inIndiana where Mr. Trump's main Republican rival Ted Cruz is campaigning. Tonight he is gonnado pretty badly in those five primaries in the northeast. He's only second in one of them inPennsylvania and even there he's 20 points adrift of Donald Trump. So he's not gonna have agood night in the northeast. However, in Indiana next week, he could get a decent delegatehaul if he could overtake Donald Trump. Bear in mind that Ted Cruz is some 300 delegatesadrift of Donald Trump at the moment.
