Actual voting results have replaced poll projections as the first official delegate counts are now in.

The Iowa Democratic Party has just released these results:

Pete Buttigieg is the Official 2020 Frontrunner with 14 national delegates.

Bernie Sanders is now in second place in the 2020 race with 12 national delegates.

Followed by Warren in 3rd with 8 national delegates, Biden with 6 and Klobuchar with 1.

Congratulations to our new 2020 Democratic Nomination Frontrunner, Pete Buttigieg.

3. If he takes first in New Hampshire I will officially jump on his bandwagon.

Well done, Mayor Pete!

4. NH is going to be tough to knock off Bernie from first, unfortunately

The recent attacks on Buttigieg may drive down his numbers just enough to ensure a Sanders victory. I so hope not, but that is just my gut feeling. The big race will be for 3rd, 4th, and 5th. the only one who can possibly survive a 5th place finish is Biden, Warren would more than likely be mortally wounded campaign wise. Klobuchar a little less, but her chances have always been the least of the top 6, when Bloomberg is included.

If he doesn't win SC, which is still a big if as he still has to be the big, big favourite there, Biden is more than likely done.

Only 4 campaigns have to be truly happy so far, (with Klobuchar as a possible lesser degree 5th, and Steyer a 6th, as he is shooting up in SC to a large degree)

Buttigieg
Sanders
Bloomberg

and of course

Trump
