Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders head to West Virginia on Tuesday, May 10 for the next Democratic primary. There are 29 delegates at stake.

Riding last week’s Indiana victory, Sanders is looking to continue his momentum with another win in West Virginia. Sanders has led Clinton in the early polls and the most recent polling data shows him maintaining his lead.

According to FiveThirtyEight, Clinton leads Sanders by 285 pledged delegates. Given the delegates are split proportionally in the Democratic primaries, Sanders needs to win states by a wide margin to continue cutting into Clinton’s delegate lead.

Here’s a look at the latest West Virginia Democratic polls.
