Bwahahahaha. Fox News Poll: Josh Turek up by 4 points and Rob Sand up by 9 points. [View all]
I heard this on AM radio today.
I don't wanna get too excited because...ya know...polls.
But the fact that Fox is putting this out makes me smile a bit.
...Among voters who say they are extremely motivated to vote, Turek holds a 15-point lead, coming largely from greater enthusiasm among Democrats (67% extremely motivated) than Republicans (53%).
...snip...
By a 10-point margin, more of Tureks supporters (82%) than Hinsons (72%) say they are certain to support their candidate in November. Nearly 3 in 10 Hinson supporters say they may change their mind.
...snip...
Fewer voters are worried Tureks positions on the issues are too liberal: 37% concerned vs. 59% not concerned.
"Iowa has turned red during the last decade, but these data suggest a reversion to swing status," says Republican Pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts the Fox News Poll with Democrat Chris Anderson. "A trifecta of issues helps Democrats: Iowans have been hit hard by rising prices, they are notoriously skeptical about foreign engagements, and the agricultural community isnt happy about tariffs."
In the 2024 FNVA, 31% of Iowans said they were falling behind financially. That number is now 42% nearly 4 times as many as those saying they are getting ahead (11%). Nearly half say they are holding steady (46%).
