Kamala Harris leads in a new poll in Iowa with 47% to Trump's 44%. Her support has grown thanks to the votes of women and independents, although Trump maintains his lead in another poll.

Democratic candidate Kamala Harris is ahead of Republican Donald Trump in a new poll among likely voters in Iowa, where Trump previously had a significant advantage in the 2016 and 2020 elections. This was reported by Reuters, according to UNN.

The poll, conducted by the Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll, shows that Harris is supported by 47% of respondents, while Trump received 44%. This is a notable shift, given that in September, Trump was ahead of Harris by 4 percentage points.

According to the poll, the rise in support for Harris is due to an increase in sympathy among women, especially older and independent voters. Although Harris's advantage is within the statistical margin of error, it may indicate a potential shift in electoral sentiment in a state that traditionally supports Republicans.

Another poll, conducted by Emerson College/RealClearDefense in early November, showed Trump with a 10 percentage point lead, thanks to strong support among men and independents. Harris, on the other hand, is popular among young voters under 30.
