Josh Turek Is Winning Over Iowa Trump Voters, Poll Finds

A new poll shows that Democrat Josh Turek is winning over people who voted for President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

A new poll indicates that Democrat Josh Turek is gaining ground among Iowa voters who previously supported President Donald Trump in the 2024 election for the state's U.S. Senate seat. Turek, running against Republican Ashley Hinson, is leading in the most recent YouGov poll, which surveyed 2,245 likely Iowa voters between October 6 and October 12.

Turek has a 47 percent approval rating, compared to Hinson's 46 percent. Notably, 41 percent of respondents backed former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, while 52 percent supported Trump. This suggests that Turek has secured the support of at least some Trump voters. The margin of error for the poll was 3.1 percent.

While Turek's lead is narrower than in some other recent surveys, he has still managed to win over Trump supporters, giving him encouraging news for his campaign.
