Notes

  1. While the final results of the Iowa caucuses have been certified, an appeal to the Democratic National Committee is pending as of February 29, 2020.
  2. Final vote after votes for candidates below the 15% viability threshold in each precinct are reallocated to other viable candidates.
  3. All presidential candidates winning less than a 15% share of SDEs statewide and in CD1, CD2, CD3, CD4, will win 0 pledged national convention delegates. Klobuchar did not exceed 15% statewide, or in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd congressional districts, where her SDE-result was eliminated (meaning she won 0 pledged national convention delegates here). Klobuchar however had "qualified SDEs" above 15% in the 4th congressional district, where she proportionally won 1 out of 5 available delegates. So despite the fact that Klobuchar won 12.3% of all SDE totals statewide, she only won 2.4% (141) of the pledged national convention delegates available in Iowa.[11]
  4. Per the Iowa Democratic Party official report.[9]
  5. Calculated by taking the difference of 100% and all other candidates combined.
  6. Key:
    A – all adults
    RV – registered voters
    LV – likely voters
    V – unclear
  7. "Someone else" with 9%; would not vote with 1%
  8. "Someone else" with 7%
  9. Other with 2%; would not vote with 3%
  10. Additional data sourced from FiveThirtyEIght
  11. Other with 3%; would not vote with 4%
  12. Other with 1%; would not vote with 3%
