Democratic Iowa Caucus results thread (entrance poll @8pm ET)

[HillOfANight]

The gap is, consistenly, around 15 delegates. This is becoming smaller in percentage points, of course, but keeps constant in absolute terms.

I'm looking at this, and don't understand what the percentages/delegates are...

Clinton seems to have more areas (delegates?) even though the percentage (vote???) is similar?

Down to 51-48 statewide...

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Yes, yes, we get it, we're going back in time.

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

The fact that Sanders is even close to Clinton would have been unthinkable a year ago.  Sanders has done a good job.

[ProgressiveCanadian]

No matter what Sanders has made this a close race when no one thought it would be. Still votes are being counted not over until the projection.

[Adam Griffin]

Lucas County appears to be the first county 100% reporting:

60-40 Clinton

[Pyro]

Way way close. Never thought Sanders would be doing so well.

Clinton up to 54-46 in Polk

Don't focus too much on Polk. Sanders is leading in Linn. He's leading in Black Hawk. He's leading in Johnson. He's leading in Woodbury.

Gap does seem to be closing a bit. Let's not give up just yet. Some of these Clinton supporters here need to be taken down a peg or two or ten.

Dude, it's over.

Come on, now. I thought your campaign was about idealism. Show some optimism. We can still defeat Clinton.

Wishful thinking doesn't help anyone. I think we should celebrate the fact that Bernie came so close, and reflect on what legacy his campaign will have for the future of the Democratic party. But we shouldn't delude ourselves.

Looks like Selzer might have predicted the margin correctly.

You realize the gap is closing, right? You realize only about half the precincts are in, right?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Sanders can still win NH. A loss might energize his supporters even more!

Clinton's strongest counties are reporting below average, while Bernie's are largely maxed out. If anything, Hillary's lead should ultimately be wider.

Less than half. Just 42%

It ain't over 'til it's over. You can call it off if you want, but I will wait and give Sanders a chance to defeat the most corrupt politician in this election.

Ida and Osceola Counties are the only ones with no votes in yet...

[Young Conservative]

gap closes to 3%

[Xing]

Yep, I think a lot of people jumped the gun here. A 3% lead (which is declining) with less than half the vote in is far from conclusive.

[YPestis25]

Ida and Osceola Counties are the only ones with no votes in yet...

Do you know where those will lean?

[This account no longer in use.]

Monroe and Taylor both in 100%. Sanders winning Monroe, Clinton winning Taylor.

[Bojack Horseman]

O'Malley's now at 1%

Some votes are in for Osceola now. Clinton narrowly leading.

[Cassius]

Whilst it is a fair point that Sanders has done extraordinarily well here, given the state of the race, say, a few months ago, it should also be noted that, if Clinton wins (which is looking more likely at this stage), that's not a bad result for her, even if it's only by a narrow margin, given the barrage of criticism she's faced in the last month, the media (both social and traditional) narrative as to how she was 'FEELIN' TEH BERN', and her own campaign's various missteps.
