With about 25 percent of the results in, Gov. Bill Richardson isn’t coming close to meeting his Real Clear Politics average of recent Iowa polls in tonight’s caucus.
Richardson’s average in the polls is 5.2 percent, but with 461 of 1,781 precincts reporting, he has the support of 1.89 percent of Iowa Caucus goers, according to the Iowa Democratic Party’s Web site.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards and Barack Obama are essentially tied at 32 percent apiece.
The good news for Richardson: He’s currently in fourth place. Joe Biden currently has the support of 0.75 percent of caucus goers, and Chris Dodd’s support is 0.11 percent.
The bottom line: Richardson is currently getting shellacked.
