Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton both had good nights on Super Tuesday as they claimed a number of wins on the road to the White House.
Here's how the results are panning out so far.
Democrat
Hillary Clinton swept through the southern states, picking up seven wins on the night in Texas, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Massachusetts and Arkansas, as well as Virginia.

Sanders did claim a few wins however, giving his campaign some momentum, with his home state of Vermont being one of them. He also won in Colorado and Oklahoma, as well as Minnesota.
The breakdown of voters across the states showed that Clinton had a clear advantage when it came to female voters, with an average of 65% voting for her according to ABC, but the numbers also show that she has a lead with male voters too.
Republican
Trump had a big night (as did Chris Christie on social media) translating his success in the polls to votes in the primaries as he won Georgia, Virginia, Vermont, Alabama, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Arkansas.
In his home state of Texas, Ted Cruz claimed a victory as well as in Oklahoma, but he was a slight surprise winner in Alaska, where he beat Donald Trump despite the fact that the billionaire had the backing of former Governor of the state, Sarah Palin.
Marco Rubio finally got a win on the board in Minnesota, and a strong finish in Vermont, coming a close second to Trump.
The numbers suggest that the key group of religious voters, which Ted Cruz would have hoped to claim a large part of, has given Donald Trump their backing, with 36% of those who identify as Christian Evangelicals voting for the billionaire, according to ABC. Trump also leads the field with Non-Evangelical Christians, claiming 40% of their votes.
With nothing on the map for either Ben Carson or John Kasich as of yet, it appears that they really have no path forward, but Kasich is putting a lot on his home state of Ohio later this month.
Similarly, Rubio will hang on through the next two weeks to reach his home state of Florida, where he hopes to claim 99 delegates in a winner-take-all contest on March 15th, despite trailing in the polls to Donald Trump.
