In less than 48 hours, Iowa will hold its first nominating contest for the 2024 presidential elections. Ahead of this crucial event, a recent poll conducted by the Des Moines Register reveals that Donald Trump maintains strong support among Iowa Republicans, with a commanding lead of 48%. Nikki Haley trails behind in second place with 20% of the likely GOP caucus goers' support, and Rhonda Sanders follows closely with 16%.
However, the final stretch of the campaign has been impacted by challenging weather conditions. Severe cold and blizzard-like conditions have forced campaigns to cancel or modify events in the run-up to Monday's caucuses. Despite these difficulties, the candidates are still actively working to rally support and encourage voter turnout.
