What the latest polls show us.
SUMMARY
The big races this week are in Arizona (winner take all) and Utah (proportional).
Fox News was to host the 13th GOP candidate debate in Utah on Monday, but Mr. Trump said he wouldn’t participate as he had another commitment and, besides, he felt there have been
enough debates (which many people agree). Gov. Kasich followed suit causing Fox News to cancel the debate.
Polling in Arizona and Utah is weak, but this should be another good week for Donald Trump. It is conceivable Mr. Trump will have 765 delegates before the week is over.
In terms of the Democrats, Mrs. Clinton will do well but Illinois will be a lot tighter than the polls show. Next week, keep your eyes on Idaho as Sen. Sanders may pull off another upset.
