Harris pulls closer to Trump in Iowa: Poll
Vice President Harris narrowed former President Trump’s lead in Iowa to just 4 points, down from the Republican’s 18-point lead over President Biden in June, according to a poll released Sunday.
The latest Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll, conducted Sept. 8-11, shows Trump leading Harris with 47 percent support to 43 percent among likely voters in Iowa.
A similar poll conducted in June, before Biden ended his campaign, showed Trump leading Biden with 50 percent support to 32 percent.
The latest poll includes independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has ended his campaign but whose name will still appear on the ballot in Iowa. Kennedy netted 6 percent support in the latest poll, down from 9 percent in June.
The poll includes 1 percent of respondents who say they will vote for Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver, 1 percent who would vote for someone else and 1 percent who say they are unsure.
Iowa women break clearly for Harris — a growing trend seen in polls around the country. In the latest poll, Harris leads Trump among women with 53 percent support to his 36 percent, while Trump leads Harris among men with 59 percent support to 32 percent.
The poll also reveals a boost in enthusiasm — 81 percent of Iowans say they will definitely vote in the election, compared to 76 percent in June.
Likely voters who favor Harris are slightly more enthusiastic than likely voters who favor Trump. Eighty percent of likely voters for Harris say they are either extremely (34 percent) or very (46 percent) enthusiastic, while 74 percent of likely voters for Trump say they are extremely (33 percent) or very (40 percent) enthusiastic.
The poll included 656 likely voters in Iowa with a margin of error of 3.8 percentage points.
