Despite felony conviction, Donald Trump maintains significant lead over Joe Biden and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in Iowa Poll.
Former President Donald Trump continues to hold a double-digit lead over Democratic incumbent Joe Biden in Iowa, according to a new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll. The poll shows Trump leading Biden 50% to 32% among likely voters, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. earning 9%.
The results come less than five months out from Election Day and before either candidate formally accepts their party's nomination at their respective national conventions this summer.
Trump's lead over Biden remains largely unchanged from a February Iowa Poll, which showed Trump leading Biden 48% to 33% among likely voters.
Donald Share, a 63-year-old Waterloo resident and poll respondent, said he became a Republican because of Trump and plans to vote for him in November. "I like (that) he doesn't take any guff from anybody, that he puts America first," Share said. "You know, we need to take care of our own before we worry about everybody else."
Share's views are reflective of the broader sentiment among likely voters who name a first-choice candidate, with 67% saying their minds are made up. Among Trump supporters, 76% say their minds are made up, while 81% of Biden's supporters are firm in their choice.
The poll of 806 Iowa adults was conducted June 9-14 by Selzer & Co. of Des Moines, and it has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. The questions of 632 likely voters have a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
Biden's approval rating among all Iowans remains low at 28%, with 67% disapproving of his performance as president. Biden's approval ratings are also low across a range of issues facing the country, including immigration, inflation, and the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
Iowans overwhelmingly believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, with 77% saying things in the country have gotten off on the wrong track. This includes 96% of Republicans who believe the country is headed in the wrong direction and 45% of Democrats.
The poll results come just weeks after Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts related to hush money payments he made to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. However, the horse race numbers are largely unchanged from the February Iowa Poll.
The results of the Iowa Poll are significant as they show that Trump's criminal conviction has not significantly impacted his support among likely voters in Iowa. This is despite the fact that Trump's conviction has been widely covered in the media and has been a topic of discussion among political analysts and pundits.
The poll results also highlight the challenges facing Biden as he seeks re-election. Biden's approval ratings remain low, and he is facing significant opposition from Republicans and independents. The poll results suggest that Biden will need to work hard to win over voters in key swing states like Iowa if he hopes to secure a second term in office.
In conclusion, the Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows that Donald Trump maintains a significant lead over Joe Biden and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in Iowa, despite his recent felony conviction. The poll results also highlight the challenges facing Biden as he seeks re-election and the need for him to work hard to win over voters in key swing states.
