Poll Shows Kamala Harris with 3-Point Edge Over Trump in Iowa Battle

Washington: In a recent Des Moines Register and Mediacom poll, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris holds a slight lead over former President Donald Trump in Iowa, a state where Trump secured victories in both 2016 and 2020. This new poll suggests Harris has the support of 47% of likely Iowa voters, narrowly edging out Trump, who sits at 44%. However, with a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points, the race remains statistically close.

The poll, conducted from October 28 to 31 with 808 likely voters, underscores the competitiveness of Iowa in the upcoming presidential race. Despite Trump’s previous success in the state, where he defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016 and then incumbent President Joe Biden in 2020, Harris’s lead indicates a potential shift in voter sentiment. With the election set for November 5, both candidates are expected to focus heavily on swing states like Iowa as they make their final appeals to voters.
