In a hypothetical matchup between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden for the 2024 presidential election, an Emerson poll revealed that Iowa voters favored Trump over Biden by 8 points.
The poll indicates 47% of voters would support Trump, compared to 39% who would support Biden in 2024. The poll also mentions that for 38% of voters, the FBI's raid on Mar-a-Lago would not affect their support of Trump in 2024. But 34% said the raid makes them more likely to support the former president, and 28% said it makes them less likely to do so.
Most Iowa voters, 56%, disapprove of Biden's job performance, while 34% support it; 10% are neutral.
Regarding issues, 45% of Iowa voters say the economy is the most important issue; following behind that are threats to democracy at 17%, abortion access at 12%, healthcare at 7%, and immigration at 7%.
"Voters who say the economy is their most important issue break for Republican [Sen. Chuck] Grassley [of Iowa] by 61 points, and for Republican [incumbent Gov. Kim] Reynolds by 69 points. By contrast, those who say threats to democracy are their most important issue break for [Democratic Senate candidate Michael] Franken by 57 points and [Iowa gubernatorial Democratic candidate Deidre] DeJear by 50 points," Emerson College Polling Executive Director Spencer Kimball said.
Regarding the midterms, for the Senate, Grassley holds an 11-point lead over Franken, 49% to 38%. For the gubernatorial race, 53% of Iowans support Reynolds, compared to 36% who support DeJear.
The poll was conducted Oct. 2 to 4. The sample consisted of 959 likely Iowan voters. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.1%.

No One! However the voters in general are not all that smart. (proof: Biden got more votes than Obama or Hillary).
Trump is not as sharp in 2022 as he was in 2016 and will show more effects of ageing in 2024. Not his fault by any means. Trump is not a life long politician well practiced in delivering smooth sounding speeches. And therefore if DeSantis is the nominee, there is better chance of wininng white house in 2024, because less smart voter matter in elections.
Only an 8% lead on Dementia Joe and Heels Up? I’d think that puts Iowa in the toss-up category.
See the question mark above? That's a question to you. Instead of ducking dodging and evading the question, answer it.
According to you? Lets see some evidence of that.
LOL! You people are are in left field. Trump looks better than most people 10 years younger than him. Get real.
Damn, this place is crawling with never Trump posers.
Then so is Texas. In 2020, Iowa gave Trump a bigger margin than Texas.
lol...Not to mention Texas gave us an LBJ and two Bush globalist...Some of the worst presidents in U.S. history.
8 points in Iowa sure thing go away you are embarrassing yourself.
I keep seeing this one poll being promoted. It’s nice that Trump is leading in Iowa but Iowa is just one state. And it’s a conservative state. Get back to me when he’s leading in the swing states which is where the rubber meets the road...WI, MI, GA, NV, PA...
I don’t understand the newsworthyness of this article. Iowa is insignificant in most if not all respects. A small farm state hardly provides much insight into the country as a whole.
If Trump wins the nomination, you betcha Iwill crawl over flaming rocks to vote for him. My gut feeling is DOJ will indict him afer election and most likely Trump will not declare run for 2024. He should have done it already because then it makes it very difficult for Biden gang to indict him.

Do yourself a favor, and stay far away from the political consulting biz.
So you will sit out 2024 if Desantis is the nominee?
Why do ya think DeSantis, the guy who’s never had a private sector career outside government, is the guy everyone needs to support?
Trump created a planet wide empire...Tell me, what did your boy DeSantis do before his life in government?
You have a problem with the way Desantis runs his government in Florida?
Why are you ducking, dodging and evading my legitimate questions?
WTF is up with that?
