Bernie Sanders is expected to perform well in West Virginia on Tuesday, a state where he has consistently polled well since last year.

The most recent MetroNews poll out of West Virginia shows Sanders head of primary opponent Hillary Clinton by 4 points, while a Public Policy Polling survey shows him with an 8 point edge.

There are 45 pledged delegates at stake in today’s contest, while the state will send another 5 unpledged delegates to the Democratic National Convention in July.

A big victory for Sanders in West Virginia will go some way to helping him close his pledged delegate deficit, and will assist his campaign in building momentum heading into upcoming primary states, like Kentucky, Oregon and California.

Live results from West Virginia will be updated below in realtime, after polls have closed.

“For the past dew weeks, the corporate media has counted us out of this election. The political and financial establishment of this country have been vocal in their desire for us to go away,” Sanders said in a statement.

“Today, Indiana voters had another idea.”

On the Republican side, Donald Trump crushed Ted Cruz, while John Kasich finished in third place. As a result of today’s primary defeat, Cruz has dropped out of the Republican primary race.
