Early signs from Iowa

MSNBC is reporting entrance polls from the Iowa caucus showing Obama and Clinton ahead of Edwards on the Democratic side - which suggests big turnouts may be hurting John Edwards.

On the Republican side, Huckabee and Romney are said to be the top two. No surprises there anyway.

CNN are reporting similar figures.

Other news organisations are reporting big turnouts - record turnout in some places. The Des Moines Register newspaper is talking of long queues and full car parks across the state - good news for Barack Obama and Mike Huckabee respectively.

More to come...

The last major poll to come out of Iowa, from Zogby/Reuters:

Democrats: Barack Obama 31%, John Edwards at 27%, Hillary Clinton 24%; Bill Richardson 7%, Joe Biden at 5%. Republicans: Mike Huckabee 31%, Mitt Romney at 25%, Fred Thompson 11%, John McCain and Ron Paul tied at 10%, Rudy Giuliani at 6%.

The margin of error was 3.3% for both parties.
