Men (42%): 47-43 Sanders
Women (58%): 55-40 Clinton

Not good for Sanders...

That is quite surprising.

Some of the last polling did show Sanders in the range of about 42%, so that entrance poll is probably not that off.

You do not win by losing. Sanders needed to win Iowa, period. Clinton can go out there, fund raise and campaign based on winning the first state of primary cycle, which is good for momentum. Sanders will likely win New Hampshire, but that might be in peril now that Clinton can shift resources there. A lot of Clinton's resources shifted to Iowa, but now that it is over she can shift resources into New Hampshire.

All these flavors and you chose to be salty.

I'm just not a big believer in winning by losing.

Much of Polk County is still out, which is where Clinton is up by a few points. It has more minorities than any other county in Iowa, which makes it pretty tough territory for Sanders.

Bernie has no chance of becoming the democratic nominee regardless of Iowa and N.H. Hillary is gonna tear Bernie up on Super Tuesday as well as 2 weeks later.

Look who's panicking now Wink

It's true. Sanders is not going to win states where the electorate is mostly minority.
