Statewide Iowa — Two Iowa-based political science professors say their polling shows voters who say they’re backing Donald Trump aren’t likely to change their minds when voting begins next month.
Iowa State University professor David Peterson is manager of ISU’s Civiqs Poll, Earlier this month, that poll found Trump’s support among likely Iowa Caucus-goers had grown to 54 percent.
Peter Hanson, director of the Grinnell College National Poll, says Trump is well-positioned for the General Election.
Peterson says Governor Kim Reynolds’ endorsement of Ron DeSantis didn’t shake up the race.
Hanson says he hasn’t seen any evidence that an appeal from Reynolds or any other Republican figure is going to shake voters who are loyal to Trump.
Hanson and Peterson made their comments during a recent episode of Iowa Press on Iowa P-B-S. The Iowa Caucuses are 20 days away.
