Start your day with TPM.

Okay, we’re hearing the initial results from the so-called “entrance polls”, about how it sounds – similar to exit polls only going in, not going out. The very early analysis suggests positive news for Trump and Clinton. But I wouldn’t put a great deal of stock in either.

On the Dem side, people are pointing to the percentage of first time caucus goers and saying the numbers of them are not as high as in 2008. If true, that would suggest but by no means prove a more conventional Democratic turnout and good news for Clinton. Sanders needs to turnout out new and younger voters. Again, unless he doesn’t.
