57% : Trump won Iowa by wide margins in the past two presidential races.
49% : Independent women selected Harris over Trump 57 percent to 29 percent, which was up from September, when they gave her only a five-point edge.
47% : Released Saturday, three days before Election Day, the latest Des Moines Register-Mediacom poll shows Harris with an edge over Trump at 47 percent to 44 percent, an unexpected finding after the former president held the lead in the mid-September Iowa Poll.
34% : Trump adviser Jason Miller dismissed the poll results in a brief conversation with reporters Saturday night, pointing to another poll showing a solid lead for Trump in Iowa and past polls that have not aligned with results.
17% : In the June Iowa Poll, Trump held an 18-point lead over President Joe Biden before he abandoned his reelection campaign.
16% : In 2020, Trump defeated Biden by an eight-point margin in Iowa, and in 2016, he took the state over Hillary Clinton by a margin of 9.4 points.
