On Tuesday, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders vie for the Democratic presidential nomination in two states: known for their Kentucky coal industry and located on the Pacific coast of Oregon.

There have been few preliminary surveys in these states, so analysts are left wondering if Clinton will be able to recover from the recent series of defeats and become one step closer to the nomination.

Clinton, who hopes to become the first female president in the United States, is significantly ahead of Sanders in the fight for the votes of the delegates who will take part in the July party convention.

Sanders does not give up

Sanders, who calls himself a democratic socialist, admits that his chances of getting a nomination bypassing Clinton are slim, but he was ahead of her in the primaries in 19 states. Countrywide surveys show that in a general election he would be able to defeat a potential Republican candidate, Donald Trump, with a more impressive margin than Clinton, although she is also ahead of Trump. Sanders promised not to leave the election race until the last primaries, which will be held in early June.

According to the NBC News and Survey Monkey survey published on Tuesday, Clinton is ahead of Trump on average in the country with a very small margin, 48 percent versus 45, whereas a week ago the gap was five percent.

The averaged results of several polls show that six months before the November elections, Clinton is ahead of Trump by six percent, and Sanders by thirteen. Construction magnate and former presenter of the reality show, Trump had never previously held elected positions.
