Iowa Poll’s independent women rattle Trump supporters

The latest Des Moines Register poll showing skyrocketing enthusiasm for Vice President Harris among Iowa’s independent women set off alarm bells for former President Trump and his allies, as both parties seek to rally their bases and drive turnout.

The poll, which was conducted by J. Ann Selzer, showed Harris with a narrow lead in the red-leaning state, largely driven by female voters. Harris leads Trump in Iowa by 28 points among independent women and by 35 points among women over 65 years old, the survey found.
