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

[Krzysztof Lesiak]

Just saw Sanders on CNN. I agree with the above comment, he looks pretty defeated. He's going to need a big win in New Hampshire to stay viable. I think Clinton has got Iowa locked up, though it's going to be close.

Iowa Statewide (CNN):

52 C; 47 S; 1 O

Let's not call this yet. There is a lot of votes left to count. Sanders can pull this off, but I can't stress how important a win in IA is for Clinton. Losing here will send shockwaves through the Democratic Party.

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.

[MasterJedi]

Hopefully Clinton can still win big 5-6% and rocket to a New Hampshire win to put the troll (as in under the bridge, actual troll) Sanders away.

Black Hawk county was 42-28 Obama, now 55-45 Clinton.

[Reginald]

Most of the larger counties seem to be lagging behind the rest of the state in reporting precincts. Definitely not over just yet.

EDIT: Clinton drops below 52%.

5-point lead when 1/3 of the vote is in and there's not major geographic inbalance in reporting is nigh-impossible to overcome.

This is more devastating for either, but more for Bernie. This is one of the most liberal/whitest states.

Dude, it's over.

Gap closing!

At this point, I honestly believe that whoever wins Iowa will win the Democratic nomination. This is a critical state. On an unrelated note, Clinton's margin seems to be narrowing in the official results. Let's see how low it goes.

I wouldn't count the guy out yet. Rural areas are the first to be counted, and they will favor clinton more than populous, youth friendly urban areas.

The gap has closed a bit. I doubt it will be enough, but this doesn't look to be an enormous Clinton win.

[ag]

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

[Bojack Horseman]

Sanders supporters now look to New Hampshire, which based on tonight's results, might be closer than the polls are showing.

[Asian Nazi]

Sanders is doing pretty well, much better than I expected.  Don't think he'll be able to catch Clinton without some massive unprecedented surge with the final 2/3 of the vote though.

Dude, it's over.

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

[Antonio the Sixth]

Poor O'Malley, getting 0%. I thought he could get to 2-3.

[Young Conservative]

Sanders supporters seem quick to feel defeated lol

[Xing]

Clinton's lead is now 3.6%

It's 3.8%, bro.

Clinton up to 54-46 in Polk

[ag]

It is 14 delegates. Pretty constant in raw terms.
