President Trump has recovered ground in Iowa, leading Democratic nominee Joe Biden by 7 points, according to a new Iowa Poll released Saturday night by the Des Moines Register/Mediacom. The candidates were tied in September at 47% each, but in the new poll, Trump leads Biden 48% to 41%. Iowa has traditionally been a swing state — it twice voted for Barack Obama before flipping in 2016 and supporting Trump. Vice President Mike Pence and Biden were in Des Moines on Friday; Trump is scheduled to visit Dubuque on Sunday. AdvertisementThe poll also showed Sen. Joni Ernst leading Democratic challenger Theresa Greenfield for the first time this year, 46% to 42%.
