Iowa.....wow. It's only one poll, but it'd be an extreme flip

Ann Selzer's poll in Iowa is one of the few that called it right in 2016 and 2020, so people give it some weight.

If the statistical probability of being right three elections in a row is lower than <50%, she is probably wrong. But my how much is the question. Even if she is wrong, the 2-1 margin amongst senior women is a terrible sign for Trump.

Independent voters, who had consistently supported Trump in the leadup to this election, now break for Harris. That’s driven by the strength of independent women, who back Harris by a 28-point margin, while independent men support Trump, but by a smaller margin.

Similarly, senior voters who are 65 and older favor Harris. But senior women support her by a more than 2-to-1 margin, 63% to 28%, while senior men favor her by just 2 percentage points, 47% to 45%.

I think Harris will win, but I don't buy this poll.

Yeah Steve Bannon is 70, Trump is 78, and Giuliani is 80; so 65 years is way too

3% are not sure.
2% don't want to say
3.4% margin of error.

Given Harris has a 3% lead in this poll and that's within the margin of error and 5% don't know what they are doing, the only thing this poll shows it's that it's going to be close, which we all know.

every other poll has trump up 5-8 points in Iowa, so a bit of a swing. I am not sure if I buy it either, but as the OP said, this poll has predicted the winner in every election back to 2004, then back to 1992.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Even so, of you apply that to the 2:1 advantage amongst senior women

Harris still wins this demographic by a wide margin and when you factor in the lack of active campaigning by either side going on in Iowa, it is strongly indicative of the organic political climate in such places, in this slice of the population. So then you ask what changed since 2020 to cause this shift. I strongly believe it was the Dobbs decision, but maybe it is just Trump/MAGA fatigue. IDK.

Even if Trump is up +1, he's significantly underperforming compared to 2020 when he also lost.

Trump won Iowa in both 2016 and 2020. He beat Hillary by almost 10% points and Biden by just over 8%, so if he's only up 1% point that is a big decline, but he hasn't lost in Iowa before.

He lost the election in 2020.

So if he's doing worse in Iowa than he did in 2020, hard to imagine how he wins overall. Since Iowa is super white, maybe he can lose white women but pick up latinos?

But that poll has women as R+4.8, they were D+3 in 2020 exit polls. Can anyone here think of a reason why women might not be flocking to Trump?

Ugly women who had long ago given up on any chance of attracting a real man have a good reason for not voting for him.

Trump and his ‘type’ would never date them.

Senior voters were a surprise loser for Hillary in 2016.

Know why the new shocking IA poll is nonsense?

Because the Harris campaign hasn’t bought any big TV ad time in IA since the poll dropped.

Harris campaign (especially her PACs) has enormous extra money. They’ve got the budget to carpet bomb IA with political ads … even at the last minute.

It’s not what gets said; it’s what is done.

People forget fast, but Iowa was blue more often than not before 2016. Agriculture. Trump did massive damage to American farmers with his ####### tariffs. Enough that we had to have a farm bailout bill. It was the worst a president had done to farmers since Carter’s embargo of USSR over afghanistan.

Ann states doesn’t have a data driven reason unfortunately but seems to be abortion driven (Iowa has 6 week ban) . At least my take from what she said.
