Political observers got an unexpected shock Saturday evening when the most respected pollster in the game, Iowa’s Ann Selzer, released her final pre-Election Day poll — and it showed Kamala Harris up by three points over Iowa in the red state, which supported Donald Trump in both 2016 and 2020. The Des Moines Register polling result is a strong positive sign in Harris’ favor in the closing days of the 2024 campaign, with Iowa women overwhelmingly supporting Harris.
In September, Trump was up by 4 points in the same poll.
“It’s hard for anybody to say they saw this coming,” Selzer said.
