(Radio Iowa) – Iowa’s two major political parties are emphasizing different metrics as Election Day draws near.
A new “Iowa Poll” found Democrat Kamala Harris with a narrow lead over Donald Trump — and by Friday night, Republicans had an early voting edge over Democrats of about one-and-a-half percent. It’s the first time since 2014 that Republicans have been ahead in early voting. On Saturday night, Democrats began citing the Des Moines Register’s latest “Iowa Poll.”
It found Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump by three points among Iowans who intend to vote or have already cast an early vote. Iowa Democratic Party chair Rita Hart says it’s an exciting development, but Hart says what matters is the final tally of votes.
