Iowa poll gives Harris surprising lead over Trump
has overtaken in a new poll in Iowa, a state the Republican presidential nominee won with a wide margin in the last two US elections.
The Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll put the Democrat three points ahead, leading Trump 47% to 44%.
Harris’ lead is within the 3.4 percentage point margin of error, but from a September Iowa Poll that gave Trump a four-point edge, the newspaper reported.
“The poll shows that women — particularly those who are older or who are politically independent — are driving the late shift toward Harris,” the Register said.
Trump won Iowa, which has trended Republican in recent years, by more than 9 percentage points in 2016 and by 8 points in 2020.
The Trump campaign released a memo from its chief pollster calling the Des Moines Register poll “a clear outlier.”
It said a weekend Emerson College poll, which gave Trump a 10-point lead, more closely reflected the Iowa electorate. That poll also has a 3.4 percentage point margin of error.
Whoever wins Iowa will get six Electoral College votes. A total of 270 are needed to win the White House.
