The state of Iowa, which starts the political process of selecting candidates from parties, always pays great attention to the US presidential elections.

The caucuses (meetings and votes of supporters of each party) in this state will take place on February 1, and their results can be quite unexpected, since, according to a sociological survey, the ratings of candidates in this state are almost equal, writes Wall Street Journal.

GOP presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz enjoy almost equal popularity in Iowa.

Cruz is a little ahead of Trump - 28% of Republicans who are planning to come to caucuts are ready to vote for the first, and 24% are for the second.

Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are also close enough to keep supporters of both candidates in this state in suspense.

48% of Iowa Democrats, who plan to take part in caucuses, are ready to vote for Clinton, and 45% - for Sanders.

After the caucuses in Iowa, February 9 will hold a primaries in New Hampshire, where the ratings of Democratic candidates are also very close.

50% of respondents are ready to support Sanders, 46% are ready to support Clinton.

But representatives of the Republican Party in New Hampshire decided a clear leader. Trump leads the state with a margin from closest rival Marco Rubio on 16%.

The data are based on a joint survey of NBC News, the Wall Street Journal and the Marist sociological service.

As the “Forum” wrote, according to a nationwide poll conducted in December 2015, Trump has every chance of winning among Republican candidates, but he loses hillary clinton.
