A recent poll conducted by the Des Moines Register and Mediacom has stirred up a storm of reactions within Donald Trump's inner circle. The former president reportedly expressed private frustration over the poll results, claiming that it should not have been released.

Trump's advisors have attempted to reassure him by discrediting the survey as inaccurate and labeling it as an outlier. Despite efforts to downplay the findings, concerns have arisen among Trump's allies, particularly regarding the gender breakdown that indicates a shift in support towards Vice President Kamala Harris, with Iowa women favoring her over Trump by a significant margin.
