It isn't terribly important to this election. That is to say, if Harris wins Iowa, that story will be eclipsed by the size of the landslide, when the legacy media has all been saying this is the tightest election ever.

But it is a hugely significant poll because it comes from one of the most respected pollsters, It suggests that, at worst, Harris will lose Iowa by a small margin, and Iowa would have been in play had here been enough time and money to include Iowa in the strategy.

That's the story. If we can compete in Iowa, we can compete in 48 states -- maybe not Alabama and Mississippi. It takes a great candidate who isn't afraid to reject the Beltway advice to play everything safe.
