Intrade currently has 11 markets running associated with the 2012 Iowa Caucus to be held Tuesday, January 3, 2012.
  • In my experience Intrade markets have historically been reliable predictors of election results.  For example, during the 2008 presidential primary season Intrade's closing prices for the Kentucky primary for Hillary Clinton were $96.10 to Barak Obama's $3.00.
  • Hillary Clinton won the Kentucky primary with 65% of the vote.
  • The 2008 Oregon primary market showed Barak Obama leading with a closing price of $97.00 to Hillary Clinton's $2.80.
  • Barak Obama won the Oregon primary with 59% of the vote.
  • Currently, Intrade shows the Republican candidates have the following chance of winning today's caucus:                                        
                                        45% Mitt Romney
                                        28% Ron Paul
                                        24% Rick Santorum
                                        0.9% Newt Gingrich
                                        0.2% Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann
                                        0.1% Jon Huntsman

Please check back tomorrow for Iowa caucus results.
