So much for Democrat energy: Iowa Caucus first-timer share drops to 35%, down from 44% in 2016 and 57% in 2008

The entrance poll showed just about a third of voters — 35 percent — caucusing this year are first-timers, a lower level than in 2016, when first-timers made up 44 percent of the Hawkeye State's Democratic caucusgoers. And this year's level of new participants is well shy of that in 2008, when a whopping 57 percent of Democrats said they had never caucused before.
