With 96% of the votes in, ABC is reporting that the Democratic voter turnout in Iowa is just over 227,000, easily smashing the prior record by a 2-1 margin. Meanwhile, with 78% of the votes in, the Republican turnout is just over 93,000.

At least one poll prior to today had the Democratic turnout beating that of the Republican by a 60% margin. Needless to say, that estimation was far too conservative.

This enthusiastic showing by Democrats vs. Republicans bodes very well for this November.
