Iowa caucusgoers are prioritizing candidates perceived electability and health care policies in choosing who to vote for in the Hawkeye States crucial first nominating contest, according to Monday entrance polls.
Voters overwhelmingly said they wanted a Democratic candidate who could defeat President Trump in November over someone who neatly aligns with their ideologies. Sixty-three percent of respondents to an NBC News entrance poll said they want the Democratic Party to nominate a candidate who "can beat Donald Trump," while 35 percent want a nominee who "agrees with you on major issues."
Two-thirds of voters surveyed in a CNN entrance poll said they also valued electability over ideological agreements.
As far as issues are concerned, health care was widely considered to be the most important to Iowa Democrats. Forty-one percent told NBC News that health care matters most to them in making their decision. Roughly 40 percent said the same to CNN.
Climate change and income inequality were the second and third-most important issues in both polls.

So they voted for JFK?
Des Moines register
Saunders 22%
Warren. 18%
Buttigieg. 16%
Biden. 13%
There is not anyone currently running in the Democrat primary that can beat President Trump, so choose another priority.
Who is Saunders, a dark horse?
IOWA = Idiots Out Walking Around. Seems the reporter is out to prove its true.
They are delusional. Absolutely, pathetically delusional.
To counter their insanity, here's a picture of a car I spotted at my favorite coffee shop this morning. A bit of a breath of fresh air!
I was going to ask who they wrote in.
As a political realist, Sanders as the Democratic nominee will likely result in a huge Republican victory in November and many good things to come. However the reality that an avowed socialist who has in his life embraced communism , communist thugs and criminal regimes will be the “Democratic” nominee, probably receive 45% of the popular vote and will come relatively close to actually leading this once great country is vile and disgusting. It means the country no longer has a common consensus of core values that unite it.
Results delayed, CNN wondering whats going on? Talking about holding onto to hard ballots. Hell, looks like Florida 2000. Love it.
So now we have entrance Polls? Jeez I am already sick of it.
So are there any voters who DONT care if their candidate can beat the opposing candidate?
This thing about beating Trump is important has become a meaningless mantra.
Of course, you want your candidate to beat the other candidate, DUH!!!
The fact that electability is an issue shows how weak their field of candidates is.
[snip] Klobuchars team is feeling good right now about their results they were unexpectedly viable in satellite caucuses today in Arizona and Florida, both with large turnouts despite not doing much organizing in those states. Theyre also unexpectedly viable in some Des Moines suburbs so theyre all positive right now. [/snip]
[snip] Pre-caucus polls suggested that Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders might have a narrow lead, but any of the top four candidates Sanders, former Vice President Joe Biden, Warren and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg could score a victory in Iowas unpredictable and quirky caucus system as organizers prepared for record turnout. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who represents neighboring Minnesota, was also claiming momentum, while outsider candidates including entrepreneur Andrew Yang, billionaire activist Tom Steyer and Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard could be factors. [/snip]
That’s adorable.

Health care I can understand... Climate change and income inequality? Seriously? Is that what real Americans will be voting for in November?
“Climate change and income inequality? Seriously? Is that what real Americans will be voting for in November?”
No, just progressives.
