Donald Trump won six electoral votes in Iowa on Tuesday. This victory marked his third win in the state in presidential elections.
Trump also won Iowa in 2016 and 2020. Democrat Barack Obama won the state in 2008 and 2012. Iowa, previously considered a swing state, has recently favored Republican candidates.
Trump’s success in Iowa continued earlier this year when he won the Iowa Republican caucus. This win bolstered his current reelection campaign.
As per exit polls on November 3, 2024, Vice President Kamala Harris was leading former President Donald Trump in Iowa, according to a new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll. The poll showed Harris ahead with 47% of likely voters' support, compared to Trump’s 44%.
The latest poll marked a significant change from previous months. In September, a similar poll had shown
Trump leading Harris by 4 points. Back in June, Trump had an 18-point advantage over President Joe Biden, who was then expected to be the Democratic nominee.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has shifted from running as an independent to supporting Trump but remains on Iowa's ballot, has 3% support.
