In Calhoun and Eaton counties, two pivot counties that voted for both Trump and Obama, Biden is currently ahead of Sanders by a wide margin, 53%-38% in Calhoun with 29% of precincts reporting, and 52%-41% in Eaton with 18% precincts reporting.

Biden and Sanders received similar support of same-day voters on enthusiasm, with Biden leading. Seventy-one percent of same-day voters said they’d either be enthusiastic or satisfied with Biden as the nominee, where as 65% said the same about Sanders.
