NBC News entrance poll: Breaking down Trump’s big Iowa win

Donald Trump won nearly every voting bloc in the 2024 Iowa Republican caucuses, according to NBC News entrance poll results.

Donald Trump won nearly every voting bloc in the Iowa Republican caucuses, according to NBC News entrance poll results, but a few key groups in particular helped lift the former president to a massive victory Monday night.

Trump’s best showing came from caucusgoers who didn’t have a college degree (67%), those who identified as very conservative (61%), voters over 65 years old (58%) and white evangelicals (53%).

His showing among those groups was up from 2016, when he only received support from roughly two in 10 voters in each group. His support among white evangelicals alone when up 32 points, from 21% in 2016 to 53% in 2024.

Trump also won among caucus participants who said they valued a candidate who fights for people like them (82%) and those who made up their mind on which candidate they would support earlier than this month (66%). 

Just less than half (46%) Iowa Republican caucusgoers identified as being part of the Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement and three-quarters of them voted for him.
