US election: Harris unexpectedly leads Trump in Iowa polls

A closely watched poll released on Saturday showed US Vice President Harris edging ahead of former President Donald Trump in Iowa. Analysts believe Iowa is a very firmly red state, with neither candidate focusing on it in the final contests, and forecasters believe there is little chance of a reversal in Iowa. However, the latest poll released on Saturday, three days before Election Day, showed Harris leading Trump by 47% to 44%, an unexpected result after Trump had led in the Iowa poll in mid-September.
