It is mindblowing to me that anyone would vote for Rubio.

He was part of the gang of 8 trying to push through amnesty. All he does is court donors, very little actual campaigning. He misses votes in the senate. He's a total empty suit. He's almost worse than Jeb!. Pretty sure he's gay too.

I say send all illegals and refugees to Iowa!

For those who say that whether their candidate wins in November matters in their decision on whom to support, 38 percent support Rubio, 26 percent support Trump, and 17 percent support Cruz. Rubio picked up on that support in his speech after the results were announced.

"Tonight we have taken the first step, but an important step, toward winning the election," he said. "When I am the nominee we are going to unify this party and we are going to unify the conservative movement." He pledged that he would beat Democrats Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders or "whoever they nominate."

Trump had been performing best among caucus attendees who have no college degree, notching 42 percent of those voters. Cruz is doing better among evangelicals, with support of 26 percent of that vote, but Trump is also putting up a strong showing with 24 percent of that vote. Twelve percent of evangelicals said they were supporting neurosurgeon Ben Carson, allowing him to cut into Cruz's base.

White evangelicals represent about 60 percent of GOP caucus goers today, compared to 56 percent in 2012.

A senior staffer for Cruz told CBS News producer Arden Farhi that the campaign was exceeding their vote goals in numerous counties across the state, so they "feel good."

Entrance polls showed Trump doing very well among voters who say they want a president who "tells it like it is," garnering 68 percent of those votes, and among those who want someone who can "bring needed change," picking up 37 percent of those votes. He was also the top pick among the half of GOP caucus-goers who were looking for an outsider: 49 percent of those caucus-goers picked Trump, while 16 percent picked Carson and 16 percent picked Cruz.

Rubio appeared to have picked up some support among late-deciding voters and is doing best among those who say they decided who to support in the last week. Forty-five percent of those surveyed in entrance polls said they made their choice in the past week, and Rubio scored 28 percent of those votes. 23 percent went to Cruz and just 14 percent to Trump. But Trump supporters said they made up their minds more than a month ago.
Republican entrance poll data

Just 15 percent of Republican caucus attendees identified as moderate, and Trump is winning big among that group with 38 percent of the vote. Rubio is a distance second with 17 percent support. Thirty-nine percent of voters identify as very conservative (a drop from 2012, when it was 47 percent), and 45 percent identify as somewhat conservative, an increase from 2012 (when it was 37 percent).

Trump's pitch to voters at St. Francis of Assisi church in West Des Moines was a reflection of his usual stump speech. He told the caucus attendees, "We don't win anymore as a country, we used to win, we don't win with the military, we don't win in the border, we don't win in any way."

"We're going to take our country back, we're going to run it the way it's supposed to be run, as a great great country. We're not going to make the mistakes," he said.


The most important issues for GOP caucus attendees are government spending (31 percent) the economy (28 percent), terrorism (25 percent), and immigration (13 percent).
