landscape this morning thanks to iowa. hillary clinton barely beat bernie sanders. the results coming in overnight, clinton's campaign saying it believes she won because there is no way for sanders to pull ahead in delegates. >> ted cruz beat donald trump by four points. marco rubio wasn't far behind. he trails trump by just one point. our aaron gilchrist is here with us now live from des moines. let's talk a little bit more about the results. so close down to the wire. i hear they were flipping coins in some caucuses. >> you know what, it was a wild night at some of the caucus sites around the state. 99 different counties. the democratic caucuses went well into the morning before we actually had some final answers from the iowa democratic party. and already every is looking forward to new hampshire. almost all the candidates are getting ready for town halls and rallies in new hampshire. but this is the official

tabulation center for both parties. we mentioned this was extremely close between the democratic candidates. clinton earned just five more state delegate equivalents, that's what they use here, five more than bernie sanders. ahead of the results, both candidate s were cautious to sa anything definitive about the numbers. >> state after state after state, this is a national campaign. look, we're looking forward to winning. we want to win. we worked hard to win. >> i followed their campaign very closeclosely. i understand what they're appeal to go and i intend to stand against it. >> now, some say a close race is better news for hillary clinton than for bernie sanders. "new york times" argues that's what is tail tailor made for sanders strength. less turn to the republicans. ted cruz, donald trump, marco rubio also close in delegates. many people say this really is a

three man race going into next week's vote in new hampshire. immediately after, a noticeable change in tone from the frontrunner. >> i'm just honored. i'm really honored. i want to congratulate ted and all of the incredible candidates. >> a huge turnout helped cruz secure the win. trump's campaign said more voters would be good for the front runner, but in the end evangelical voters made a strong showing instead. rubio tweeted a thank you overnight, but nothing from donald trump. >> that is interesting. and aaron, we knew it was bound to happen. two campaigns are over this morning. only 1% supported martin o'malley. >> yeah, governor o'malley made a big effort here. he had more stops across the state of iowa than the other democratic candidates and still he ended his campaign as you mentioned. 1% among iowa voters for former

maryland governor martin o'malley. as we look at some of the numbers, he thanks his supporters saying that he fought hard and succeeded in giving american people a choice here. >> it's hard to get over that threshold here. and i know that those numbers don't reflect all of the hard work that you did. but we have driven this debate. >> so martin o'malley, mike huckabee also ended his campaign. rick santorum says he's chances getting the nomination, so we have yet to hear his final move. >> some pretty interesting exit poll results. what you can tell us about that? >> yeah, we went through some of those overnight for you. and not surprisingly young voters really turned out for bernie sanders. women went for hillary clinton. we'll show you some of the other results that we got here from the exit poll. a little more interesting who voters think can handle health care for example. we talked about how big of an

issue this is for voters. exit polls show 91% of voters thought hillary clinton would be best suited for that particular task. to the big republican issues here, voters split saying each of the top performing candidates would be best to handle different platforms here on immigration, voters wanted donald trump. marco rubio was their choice to handle the economy. when it came to terrorism, voters went with ted cruz. so at this point, we know that from these exit poll, ted cruz's supporters say they believe he's most likely to win the nomination before the cop vep conventions come this summer. >> aaron gilchrist live in des moines for us. thank you. a father demanding answers this morning to find out why his 13-year-old girl was abducted and murdered. virginia tech students david eisenhauer and natalie keepers made their first court appearances yet. both are charged in connection to the death of nicole lovell.
