| The main focus is on the polls in Ohio and Texas but votes are also taking place in Rhode Island and Vermont.
Democratic front-runner Barack Obama has said rival Hillary Clinton may have to quit if he wins in Texas and Ohio, but she has vowed to stay the course.
John McCain could be confirmed as the Republican candidate in the polls.
The Arizona senator is expected to beat his rival Mike Huckabee in the four states.
Gaining ground
Victory could secure him enough of the 256 delegates at stake to clinch his party's nomination at its national convention in September.
He currently has 1,014 delegates, according to the Associated Press news agency, while Mr Huckabee has 257. A total of 1,191 delegates is needed to claim the nomination.
For the Democrats, opinion polls suggest Mr Obama has a narrow lead over Mrs Clinton in Texas, but that she is clinging on to her modest lead in Ohio.
Mrs Clinton held an early lead in the two states, although Mr Obama has been gaining ground in both states.
