"Early Entrance Poll Reveals Strong MAGA Support Among Iowa GOP Caucusgoers"

About half of Iowa Republican caucusgoers identify with the MAGA movement, with few acknowledging President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory as legitimate, according to an early entrance poll. The majority describe themselves as conservatives, with a significant portion supporting a federal ban on most or all abortions nationwide. The poll also indicates strong support for former President Donald Trump among caucusgoers who consider themselves part of the MAGA movement, White born-again or evangelical Christians, and very conservative voters, marking a shift from the 2016 Iowa caucus.

"Trump's Dominance in GOP Primaries: A Force to be Reckoned With"

Local GOP leaders in Iowa expect former President Donald Trump to win the GOP presidential caucus in the state, despite his limited visits and lack of ground operations. Most county chairs surveyed picked Trump as the likely winner, while a few chose Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Trump's supporters remain dedicated to his campaign, and the multiple indictments he is facing have only strengthened his support in Iowa. DeSantis, who has focused heavily on Iowa, has not been able to break Trump's hold on the state. While some county chairs believe there may be more undecided caucusgoers than polls indicate, most expect Trump to win.

Iowa Republicans Kickstart 2024 Nomination Process with Early Caucus Date

The Iowa Republican Party has set January 15 as the date for the first-in-the-nation caucuses for the 2024 presidential nomination process. This decision comes after top Democrats attempted to remove Iowa from its leading spot on the calendar. The early-voting states, including Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina, traditionally receive increased media attention and candidate spending, influencing the competition among hopefuls. While Democrats sought to elevate more diverse states, such as South Carolina and Michigan, Iowa Republicans affirmed their commitment to the longstanding tradition. New Hampshire officials have also indicated they will not comply with DNC rules, potentially causing further disruptions to the primary calendar.
