GOP in Iowa generally shuns early/Absentee voting. This a huge difference from 2012. Also note the unaffiliated drop-off too.

Yeah, you can poll all you want, but you can’t poll enthusiasm.

If this remains close, enthusiasm for Trump will win the day.

I suspect those unaffiliated requests have dropped due to those who lean left dropping out.
The GOP holding steady and the DEMs dropping, causes me to reason that way.

Maybe a good microcosm of the whole nation. If so, good news for Trump.

Iowa appears to be solidly with Trump and the GOP which is where it should’ve always been given the demographics. The last GOP President to win Iowa was GW Bush in 2004 which I believe is indicative that this years race is a lot more like 2004 than 2012 or 2008. If that is the case Trump will win decisively. Nevada is also leaning Trump this cycle which gives even more credibility to the idea of a pre-Obama electoral status quo. Colorado polling is also looking better for Trump. The more I look at the numbers this year compared to 2004 the more what many are claiming are anomalous make sense.

I'm thinking most Trump voters are going to want to show up in person and not rely on the U.S. Mail. I am so looking forward to showing up at the polls on November 8th. Sending in a ballot by mail just doesn't seem right. How will we ever know our vote is actually counted? Too many things can go wrong.
I want to be there in person and make sure my ballot is submitted.

Wifey and I both requested ours. She will be traveling and I will be poll watching if The Donald gets back to me.
