With 30 percent reported, Sanders looks to have an insurmountable lead in the Democratic primary in Rhode Island.

Polls heading into primary day showed competing results with Clinton leading Sanders by nine points in a Brown University survey and Sanders besting Clinton by four points in a Public Policy Polling survey.

Saturday, Clinton did a swing by in Rhode Island’s tiniest town Central Falls as she made her final pitch. Former President Bill Clinton was dispatched on Hillary Clinton’s behalf Monday in the state.

Bernie Sanders attracted 7,000 supporters at a rally he held in Providence Sunday.

The race was considered one of Sanders’ best chances of picking up a victory Tuesday. Clinton, however, had won both of Rhode Islands’s senators’ endorsements.
