Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will each fall one state short of a Super Tuesday sweep, according to predictions from the search engine Bing.

Trump and Clinton are both front-runners in their respective primaries, but each has an opponent expected to perform well in his home state on Tuesday. For Trump, it’s Sen. Ted Cruz in Texas; for Clinton, it’s Sen. Bernie Sanders in Vermont.


“Bing predicts Donald Trump to win almost all the Republican primaries and caucuses held on March,” the Bing elections team wrote in a blog post. “The one exception is Texas, as Ted Cruz is expected to win his home state. The outlook for the Democratic race is somewhat similar: Hillary Clinton is predicted to win 10 out of 11 states, the exception being Vermont — Sanders’ home state — which he is expected to win.”

Delving beyond wins and losses, Bing forecasts Clinton winning Southern states — Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia — with more than 60 percent of the vote. Clinton won South Carolina last week with an overwhelming 74 percent to Sanders' 26 percent.

Bing still expects Clinton to win Colorado, Massachusetts and Minnesota, but not by as large a margin. “Interestingly, Bing’s predictive models showed a narrow Sanders win in these three states until a couple of days ago, but the impact of Clinton’s decisive victory in South Carolina on public opinion tilted the prediction towards her,” the company said.

Bing correctly predicted seven of the first eight primaries/caucuses — it was tripped up in Iowa by Cruz’s victory over Trump.
