He has won but considerably closer than expected. According to Nate Silver's guide for Bernie being on track to tie in pledged delegates, he needed to win the state by 57 points for 11 out of the 14 pledged delegates in the state.

Instead, he is currently ahead a more modest 56.2 percent to 43.8 percent for Hillary. Currently that leaves him with 7 pledged delegates to 6 for her with one outstanding-the vote is 95.8 percent done.
Add in her 4 superdelegates and that puts her up 10-7 with one delegate outstanding. This underscores the bind Bernie is in. Every day he's not winning by 50 he's losing. He certainly underperformed in Wyoming, a very white, rural state.
This is in light of his team's admitting that they can't win this nomination-like Ted Cruz or John Kasich, their only hope is a brokered convention.

How did Wyoming let Bernie down like this? Maybe they didn't like him saying Hillary is unqualified.
Or maybe they saw his Daily News interview. In any case, it only gets tougher from here for the Bern.
