WASHINGTON — Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are positioned to solidify their status as presidential front-runners in Virginia when Republicans and Democrats cast ballots in the state's primary on Tuesday.
Clinton leads Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Democratic nomination race by 20 points in the swing state. Among Republican presidential candidates, Trump is ahead of his nearest opponent, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, by 13 points in the latest poll of almost 1,200 voters released Sunday by CBS News/YouGov.
Registered voters in Virginia may vote in either primary (but not both), meaning the state's Super Tuesday nominating contests could serve as a proxy for the November general election. Virginia has no official party registration. Polls are open from 6 a.m. 7 p.m. around the state, and a photo ID is required to cast a ballot.
.........................
Clinton and Sanders will battle for the largest share of 95 delegates.
