Yabba Dabba Doo- BATTLEGROUND POLLS!!!

[ColesCountyDem]

67. Iowa is essentially two states:

Northeastern Iowa, the Mississippi River counties, the Des Moines metro and the Council Bluffs area are fairly Democratic, although the state has roughly equal Democratic and Republican voter registration numbers.



Iowa is very racially homogeneous, although there are increasing numbers of Hispanic voters. People shouldn't over-analyze Iowa. It is largely rural, has (or had, at one time) the nation's highest literacy rate and is moderately conservative, although there is a deep 'populist' streak in the electorate. Iowa is also fairly religious, even among Democrats.

Iowa has long been purple, and is likely to remain so.
