Iowa Result 2008


Well folks it was nice to be right about the result in Iowa, the prediction was lucky by 1 percent in both Democratic and Republic race. Had the order right, on the Republican side, Huckabee, Romney and McCain and on the Democratic side, Obama, Edwards and Clinton. McCain was 1 percent ahead of Thompson and Clinton was 1 percent behind Edwards.

The full result is as follows.

Democrats:

Obama 38 %

Edwards 30 %

Clinton 29 %

By the entry polls taken by the networks change played a part in the result on the Democratic side. In the speech by Clinton the old experience card was used again for the future. Might work in N.H. McCain has gained from this card.

On the Republican side:

Huckabee 34 %

Romney 25 %

McCain 13 %

Entry polls showed religion played an important part in the result, New Hampshire is more secular. McCain should win New Hampshire. All the latest polls have him leading. But Iowa is out of the way now, so Romney has five days to win N.H.
