President Donald Trump appears poised to emerge victorious in the great state of Iowa in next year’s anticipated caucuses, with the most recent 2024 GOP presidential polls showing the 45th president as the overwhelming Republican favorite.
The newest data from Fabrizio, Lee & Associates found that Trump held a 26-point lead in the Hawkeye State over Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla.
In late August, the president additionally dominated an important poll from the Des Moines Register that surveyed likely Republican caucus-goers in Iowa, finding that 42 percent preferred President Trump as their first choice for the Republican presidential nomination. Their second choice was Gov. DeSantis at 19 percent.
Iowa’s important caucuses will be held in January 2024, kicking off the important primary election cycle preceding the nation’s anticipated general election in November 2024.
On Saturday, President Trump will visit Iowa once again in Des Moines, where he will make an appearance at a football game featuring the University of Iowa vs. Iowa State University.
Last month, Trump drummed up major enthusiasm in Iowa when he visited the Iowa State Fair, moving through the fairgrounds with an entourage of allies, security, and members of the press. The president shook hands with fairgoers, delivered remarks, bought food for attendees, and drew thousands of onlookers during his trip.
Nationwide, the president is also the favorite to win the Republican nomination in 2024. Per RSBN, Trump won a massive 60 percent of potential GOP voters’ support, according to the most recent data from Morning Consult.
Their poll found that he had a 45-point lead over the runner-up, Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., who won 15 percent of nationwide Republican support.
In August, Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Remember, I got the Farmers 28 Billion Dollars from China, the USMCA Trade Deal (& many others!), saved Ethanol, Social Security, and MediCare, & got Iowa ‘First In the Nation’ status. Nobody else could have done this.”

Polls today are fleeting, most your colleagues yesterday were telling us how bad polls were, anyway, the caucuses are still almost 125 or more days away.
"The key point that should give everyone pause, is that almost any Republican candidate fairs equally well against Biden. Or, put another way, Trump is no savior, not the only path to victory in 2024. All are equal. And, as the differences and baggage get more light of day, gives Republicans options. There are over three months until the first caucuses and primaries, so plenty of time to sort this out."
Yes and no.
Fact: in 2015, Donald Trump took the lead in May and only gave it up one time, for about 2 weeks, in October of 2015 to Carson. He never again came close to trailing in a national poll.
Fact: in 2020, Trump never led one time in a national head-to-head with Rutabaga.
Fact: In 6/7 recent polls, Trump has led Rutabaga.
Fact: Trump now leads in every state by rather significant margins (+20-40).
So, while polls are “fleeting,” a consistent look at all the polls says that DeSoros is getting crushed, Trump is the nominee (which I could have told you four months ago), that he is doing FAR better vs. Rutabaga than in 2020, and is nearing in many polls a position of being outside the “margin of fraud”.
My point is you and others are the hypocrites by denying polls that are inconvenient, like yesterday. I don’t deny the polls, never really have, take a look as I point out repeatedly how long the campaign is, just getting started. Besides, you and others keep ignoring, which I was again pointing out yesterday, that DeSantis does well against Biden, that Trump isn’t the only option, may not be the best as it will take crossover votes from Dems and Independents to win. Trump won’t get those.
She is a well established and known troll for (almost) a decade now.
No one cares.
Trump will not be POTUS.
The only question I have is what sort of political/kinetic pressure will be used to keep him out.
We are beyond the event horizon of the State allowing the “wrong” people to be elected.
This has happened before. Every 200 or so years. And it typically gets messy as the old order passes.
np Bikkuri, good topical reference segway!
Which campus is more “conservative”, Iowa State or Iowa?
I’m partial to Iowa, because they gave us Alex Karass.
State is far more conservative, being a land grant college. But being a university, Iowa State is also run by depraved Leftist kooks, just not quite as bad as UI.

Trump will be pres.
He will likely get over 80m votes, Rutabaga would be lucky to get 70.
If Bobby is on the ballot, Rutabaga would get 3-4m fewer.
You are assuming that the State will allow that to happen. I am assuming that they will not.
My point is we are past the horizon where voting matters. The people in power are very desperate to keep Trump away. So much I am concerned that we are going to see more active measures taken.
Also remember the popular vote is for electors. Electors can be influenced.
This is the twilight of the Republic.
Iowa State by a wide margin.
Absolutely I am assuming the state will have no choice but to let it happen.
I have seen nowhere, nohow that God is finished with the USA. There are two countries in the world that God protects. He loves Israel because He chose Israel. He loves America because we chose Him. 50m Christians in America are plenty reason for Him to save this nation.
And its time patriots and Christians everywhere quit with the doomerism and say “I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me!”
