Former President Donald Trump has expressed skepticism over the final Iowa Poll results, which show him trailing Vice President Kamala Harris by 3 points among likely voters. At a rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, Trump dismissed the poll as 'fake' and insisted that he is not behind in Iowa.
The poll, released by the Des Moines Register and Mediacom, indicates Harris leading with 47% to Trump's 44%, within the margin of error. This suggests a tight race in a state that Trump won in both the 2016 and 2020 elections.
Comparing the recent poll to the one conducted in September, there appears to be a shift in support towards Harris. The September poll showed Trump with a slight lead over Harris, with 47% of likely voters backing him compared to 43% for Harris.
Trump and his campaign have criticized the Iowa Poll, with the former president labeling it as 'heavily skewed' and the campaign branding it as a 'clear outlier poll.' Despite these objections, the results indicate a competitive race in Iowa as Election Day approaches.
