Buttigieg with a narrow lead in Iowa with 62% of results in.

Pete Buttigieg’s campaign is cautiously optimistic after the first tranche of results find the former South Bend Mayor with a narrow lead with 62% of results in.

“We feel good,” said a senior Buttigieg aide. “We’re confident our data will continue to show we’re competitive to win.”
Buttigieg aides in Iowa spent the night crunching internal data they received from their precinct captains across Iowa. It is that data that motivated them to claim victory before any results were in.

and Sanders shares lot of agenda with Warren, so they divide the total progressive votes.

A better comparison with 2016 would be (Snaders+Warren) Vs (Biden+Buttigieg+Kobuchar).
