Democratic caucuses
In the 1992 Iowa Democratic caucuses, most candidates for the Democratic nomination did not campaign in Iowa because of the presence of Tom Harkin, a longtime U.S. Senator representing Iowa.[3]
Harkin was running for president in 1992 as a populist with labor union support who criticized George H.W. Bush for being out of touch with working class Americans.[4] Harkin was an early favorite in a small field of five candidates. Harkin easily won the caucus with 76% of the vote, uncommited got second place with 11%, Senator Paul Tsongas came in third, with 4%, and Governor Bill Clinton finished fourth, with 2%.
Because the race was not contested, these results had little effect on the remaining primaries, and the New Hampshire primary took on added importance.[3]
Tom Harkin won every county by large margins. The delegate totals reflect their final distribution, not their projected allocation immediately following the caucus.
