Obama first, Clinton second, and Edwards third. Same reasoning.

CBS/AP) According to early results of CBS News entrance polls of caucus-goers in Iowa, both the Democratic and Republican races are close between two candidates. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are battling for the lead in the Iowa Democratic caucuses and Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee are locked in a close battle in the Republican caucuses.

Entrance polls of caucus attendees confirm some expectations for the evening - Clinton starts the night with strong support among women, and Obama is showing strength among young attendees.

Among Republicans religious beliefs make much of the difference. Huckabee has a solid base among evangelicals and attendees who say that it is important that a candidate share their religious beliefs. Romney's strength is among those who do not place a priority on candidate religion.

Iowans were summoned to the evening caucuses in biting cold but generally clear skies. It was for them to untangle a knotted race too close to call on either side, with three Democrats and two Republicans seemingly in contention for victory and a larger field hoping for bragging rights - or survival.
