| Cook Political report editor Dave Wasserman sees Trump with a chance at picking off one or two Wisconsin districts – for maybe six delegates. But the results are still out. | |
| The final delegate breakdown out of Wisconsin likely to be 39-3 or 36-6 Cruz. Trump will need 58% of remaining delegates for 1,237. | |
| On the Democratic side, Sanders holds about a 12-point lead with 58% of the vote in (you can visit our comprehensive results page here). A lead of that size would see Sanders gain about 10 delegates on Clinton, out of 86 total at stake in Wisconsin. | |
