Obama, 46, and a first-term senator from Illinois, scored his victory on a message of change in Washington. Nearly complete returns showed him gaining 37 percent support from Democratic caucus-goers. Edwards and Clinton were locked in a battle for second place with 30 percent each.

MSNBC's own results show Edwards with 30% of the vote and Clinton with 29%.

In Iowa, McCain battled former Sen. Fred Thompson for third place, while Texas Rep. Ron Paul lagged behind. Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor, largely had abandoned the state in the campaign's final days.

MSNBC's own result show Thompson with 13% of the vote, McCain with 13%, Paul with 10% of the vote and Giuliani with 3%.

2. Clinton, one percentage point behind Edwards, is "locked in a battle for second."

Paul, three percentage points behind Thompson & McCain, "lagged behind."
