Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton has pulled out a narrow win over rival Bernie Sanders in Connecticut’s Democratic primary.
The former secretary of state was polling just 2 percentage points head of her socialist opponent in a Public Policy Polling survey released Monday, but managed to pull off a victory in the Constitution State.
Connecticut’s five congressional districts will award a total of 36 delegates proportionally to each of the Democratic contenders, while 19 pledged delegates will be split between Sanders and Clinton based on the final statewide vote.
Clinton won 139 delegates in her home state of New York last Tuesday and is expected to pick up even more delegates with victories in the four other states holding their nominating contests on Tuesday.
Nevertheless, the former secretary of state’s opponent has refused to concede the nomination until Democratic voters in all 50 states have cast their ballots.
“We’re going to give the people in every state in this country the right to determine who they want to be the president of the U.S. [and] what kind of agenda they want,” Sanders told CNN on Sunday.
