After trailing in the polls, Texas Senator Ted Cruz has won the Iowa Republican Caucus, beating front runner Donald Trump.

Analysts say the billionaire businessman failed to turn support among blue collar workers into votes.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio put in a strong performance, with 23 percent of the vote, and is now the favourite to win the Republican nomination.

On the Democrats' side, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders were virtually tied with 99 percent of the votes counted; with Clinton a likely winner.

But the numbers reveal a huge generational divide.

Entrance polls suggest 74-year-old Sanders inspired younger voters with his message of change. He won 84 percent of Democrats under the age of 30.

Clinton is the establishment candidate and her support was highest among older voters. Sixty-nine percent of people aged 65 and older voted for her.

So, what does Iowa tell us about the race for the White House?

Shirley Chisholm, the first African-American woman elected to Congress, sought the Democratic nomination in 1972 as the first black woman to run for president.

Dear foreign correspondence - The United States constitution does not allow anyone who was not born in the USA to become president - Ted Cruz was born in Canada

Rubbish. Everyone who has been following this has seen the Hillary Sanders close tie coming. And this was certainly not bad for Hillary. Sanders needed to win this by a Margin. After NH it is unfortunately going to be downhill for him
