Harris Leads in Iowa

A new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll “shows Vice President Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump 47% to 44% among likely voters just days before a high-stakes election that appears deadlocked in key battleground states.”

“A victory for Harris would be a shocking development after Iowa has swung aggressively to the right in recent elections, delivering Trump solid victories in 2016 and 2020.”

“The poll shows that women — particularly those who are older or are politically independent — are driving the late shift toward Harris.”

Said pollster Ann Seltzer: “It’s hard for anybody to say they saw this coming. She has clearly leaped into a leading position.”
