the US Presidential race so far - the New York Primary.
Donald Trump leads the Republican pack by a seemingly unassailable 30
points. While in the Democrat competition, off the back of a string of
wins, Bernie Sanders is hoping to cause upset by beating Hillary
Clinton in her own backyard.
His popularity has grown week on week. But could this be Sanders' last stand?

TAKE VO
A win in Wyoming this weekend puts Bernie Sanders on a solid winning streak.
Seven out of the last 8 state votes have gone his way.
Sanders 1
The self-described democratic socialist has spent several weeks
beating his rival Hillary Clinton into second place - making her path
to the Democrat nomination more difficult.
But with the New York Primary just a week away, there could be tough
times ahead for Sanders. The polls show him trailing Clinton by 16%.
Both are claiming a home turf advantage. Sanders was born in the New
York borough of Brooklyn, while Clinton lives locally and was once a
New York senator.
So Sanders told CNN he expects the attacks to get personal.

Clinton meanwhile picked up worthwhile praise over the weekend from
the current President, Barack Obama.
While not an endorsement, he appeared on Fox News to defend her use of
private email servers.
Obama 1
Sanders has undoubtedly punched above his weight - doing much better
than expected - and forcing Clinton to change her message to appeal
more to Bernie's supporters.
But as in New York, Clinton leads the polls in a further 5 north east
primaries, all just 2 weeks away.
By the end of the month Sanders outsider bid for the White House could be over.
