A week after Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton flexed their muscles and each won seven states on Super Tuesday, voters in four states are voting in yet another round of presidential primaries.

Hillary Clinton was projected to win the Democratic primary in Mississippi, with Donald Trump projected to win in Mississippi and Michigan.

Republican voters are hitting the polls on Tuesday in Idaho, Michigan, Mississippi and Hawaii, while Democrats are voting in Michigan and Mississippi.

Republican front-runner Donald Trump will look to keep rolling after results over the weekend left some pundits asking if his popularity has peaked. Hillary Clinton will be hoping to continue to hold off challenger Bernie Sanders. Follow the action live here:

Mississippi: Hillary Clinton projected to win Democratic primary; Donald Trump projected to win on the Republican side.

Michigan: No Democratic winner projected; Donald Trump has been projected as Republican winner.

Idaho: Polls close at 11 p.m. EST

Hawaii: Polls close at 1 a.m. EST

Reports say the Clinton campaign is feeling confident about a big win in Mississippi, but is more concerned with Michigan, where Bernie Sanders could get a good result.

Mississippi polls close in less than 10 minutes. We should have a projection within minutes after closing.

BREAKING: Hillary Clinton is projected to win the Mississippi primary.

Donald Trump is well ahead of Ted Cruz in Mississippi, with Marco Rubio currently in third place. No projection has been made at this point.

VERY early exit polls from Michigan show that John Kasich is leading Republicans and Bernie Sanders is ahead of Hillary Clinton. Only 1 per cent reporting and not all polls are closed in the state. Could change quickly.

Fox News is projecting that Donald Trump is the Republican winner in Mississippi.

It's looking like it's going to be another rough night for Marco Rubio.
