Reporter the latest poll shows trump leading the gop race, now five points ahead of ted cruz. I dont care if youre feeling horrible, you have 104 temperature, get out of bed and caucus reporter on the democratic side, its a tight race between clinton and Bernie Sanders. What our job is in the next 24 hours is to make sure that there is a large voter turnout. Reporter sanders volunteers knocking on 75,000 doors this weekend alone. Cruz attended church in iowa. Did you pray for victory . I prayed that gods will be done. Reporter his rival senator marco rubio casting cruz as the favorite. Ted cruz is clearly the frontrunner. He has 10,000 volunteers.

Reporter speaking of millions of dollars, the Des Moines Register says all of these candidates have spent more than 33 million combined right here in iowa on television ads. We have been seeing them nonstop here this weekend, reena and phillip. For anyone who needs a refresher, can you walk us through the caucus process . How does that work. Reporter its complicated. Bear with me as we go through this. At 7 00 tonight, yes, only at 7 00, youre going to see roughly 1600 what we would normally calling p these are caucus houses. A lot of them are public buildings, libraries. On the republican side f youre going to caucus on the republican side, you walk in, in a large group of people. You may hear pitches from the candidates at the last minute. Then you either write down a name on a scratch piece of paper in some of these caucus houses or possibly a ballot, who youre going to choose. Binn and that is your vote. On the democratic side, though, its much more different, much more public. You go to your caucus place. You decide to group with your neighbors, might be 100, 200, sometimes 300 people there. And you must physically get into groups. If youre a Bernie Sanders supporter, you go into one area of the room. Clinton, omalley, in other areas of the room. If you dont have at least 15 support of that room in your group lets say omalley only had 10 , it doesnt count. Its considered void in a way. So those people in the Omalley Group can then decide in front of everyone, do i want to support sanders or clinton or nobody. And then they can join in. Its going to be a very fluid situation. Thats why sometimes with these results, its hard to know who is declared the victor or not for the state. It sounds like it could be a very long night for you, brandi hitt. Reporter it will be fun. I cant wait. Shes so excited about this. We love it. Brandi hitt reporting live from des moines. Thank you so much.

Clinton and bush, two names dpr the past. Reporter and then theres some iowans received this ominous envelope, election alerted, votedr violation. Underneath, the persons voting score, whether theyve voted in recent elections. And information about their neighbors. Caucus on monday to improve your score, it says, warning of a followup notice after the vote. Not a government document but a mailer from the cruz campaign. Iowas secretary of state denounced it as deceptive. Over at the ankeny diner, these folks are still truly undecided. When are you going to make that decision . Maybe 7 00 tomorrow. I dont know. Reporter the deciding factor in this race could be people who have never been to a caucus before.
