Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has surpassed Republican Donald Trump in a new poll in Iowa, with women voters likely responsible for the turnaround in a state that Trump easily won in 2016 and 2020, according to a Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll, Reuters reports.

The poll of 808 likely voters, who were surveyed from October 28-31, has Harris leading Trump 47pc-44pc in Iowa, which has been trending deeply Republican in recent years.

It is within the 3.4 percentage point margin of error, but it marked a turnaround from a September Iowa Poll that had Trump with a 4-point lead, the newspaper reported.
