What's at stake in the primary?

Democrats allocate most of their pledged delegates proportionally by legislative district, in addition to allocating at-large and PLEO (party leader and elected official) delegates based on the statewide vote breakdown.

Idaho allocates a very small share, with just 20 pledged delegates to the convention. Thirteen of Idaho's delegates are allocated between the state's two congressional districts and seven at-large and PLEO delegates are allocated statewide.

As in most other states, candidates must earn over the minimum threshold of 15% of the vote in a given district or statewide to earn any delegates at all.

Who does the polling say is ahead?

A Data for Progress poll released on March 9, the only Idaho Democratic primary poll from this cycle, showed VP Joe Biden with the support of 51% of likely Idaho Democratic primary voters compared to 47% for Sen. Bernie Sanders. The poll, conducted from March 7 to March 9, had a margin of error of plus or minus 5.4 percentage points.

FiveThirtyEight's primary election forecast projects that Biden has a 7 in 10 (70%) chance of winning the most delegates out of Idaho compared to a 1 in 3 (36%) chance for Sen. Bernie Sanders.
