caucus sites ran out of registration sites. some voter voters, changed third party affiliation. >> i don't hear a lot about my kid's future coming from the republican side so i switched to democratic tonight. >> reporter: martin o medical mal -- oh malley and mike huckabee suspended their campaigns. with now less than 1 point separating bernie sanders and clinton. it could take some time to determine who won. live in iowa. back to you. >> we already know that iowa has narrowed the field. >> reporter: it has. and that's what iowa is known for. they say there are three tickets out and that happens you get your first, second, and third. but what really happens, iowa puts and tend to some campaigns.

huckabee and martin omalley. we may see more before the morning comes. and as we're talking, we're hearing the republican party chairman here making announcements here tonight. congratulating ted cruz with his win. there's still a lot more to come. even though most of those numbers have come in and watch this race. this raiser thin margin between clinton and sanders. >> all right. thank you so much. we are already starting to hear from some of the candidates. >> we are waiting to hear from ted cruz at this point. but we did hear from donald trump a few moments ago. >> do not go to iowa. you could never finish even in the top ten. and i said, but i have friends in iowa. i know a lot of people in iowa. i think they'll really like me. let's give it a shot. they said don't do it. i said i have to do it and we finished second.

think the bottom line is, in the end, iowa voters value values. and they tell poster, they think it's important they shirt values of those they vote -- share the values of those they vote for and donald trump fell at the bottom of the pack in terms of voters that felt he shared their values. >> in the meantime, we have talked about the fact that it would be close between sanders and clinton. i don't know if we knew it would be this close. 50% for both right now. >> yeah. and there are some throughout spinning this as actually a good night for clinton. iowa was more suited to sanders and so fort. i am not buying that the all. it's one thing to look at the new hampshire where sanders has

but i think this is a bad night for hillary clinton. it speaks to the weaknesses that she has. she's not seen as someone who shares, who really cares about the voters to a large extent. and while she's holding onto a 12 point gender gap over sanders, in the entrance polling, she's getting killed amongout u younger voters and male voters are breaking against her too. she's got a lot of work to do. with new hampshire looming where she's down by some accounts 30 points. >> okay. so what does tonight mean as we look ahead? >> well, you know, new hampshire is a whole different animal from iowa. and very often, thigh -- they dispense the iowa results and go their own way. however, i think you'll see marco rubio coming in now and getting a second look as possibly the establishment alternative and donald trump, he better be careful that his
