Maybe like 3k or so? 

CCM won by .8% and that was 8k votes.

All I know is 2 of the best prognosticators - Ralston and Selzer - see Harris winning / doing well, so why all the dooming?? 

And even when Selzer was wrong with POTUS races (she called Iowa in 2004 for Kerry +3) Bush only won by 10K votes, or 0.7%. She's not infallible but if she's say that Harris is winning Iowa, it doesn't bode well for Trump across the board. He easily won 2016 (+10) and 2020 (+8.)  If it's close, I can't imagine what is happening in other states as well.

And if by chance Harris wins Iowa or another missed swing state, it throws many of the predictions up in the air. Even PA isn't as important.

I think the military should mount a couple of massive machine gun turrets on the sides of the capitol, the White House, and the VP residence. And they should then put a few target practice dummies out there and absolutely unload on them. Spread that widely on social media. Insurrection mobilization neutralized. 
 

They should’ve fired early and often on all of those lowlifes as soon as they broke the first barricade on January 6. We should have no quarter and tolerance for insurrection.

The one thing I think people forget about Iowa is it has always had a bit of a different culture to the rest of the area. They had the whole prairie socialism thing and have had an independent streak. Overall conservative, but unique in some ways.

Reynolds' attack on public education has been hugely unpopular.  My quasi-MAGA FIL told me this winter there's no way in hell he's voting for her in '26.

That pissed people off more than the child labor stuff.  Especially in the rural areas (where strong public education is a bipartisan value among citizens).

This is historically true, and a factor in why I chose to never leave.  I was/am extremely proud of that.

The last decade has seen us join the rest of the states between the Rockies and Mississippi politically and it was hard not to see that as a permanent shift.  I really hope there's some of that old Iowan political weirdness kicking around.

another point about Iowa is that Jill Stein is not on the ballot. One less opportunity for someone to throw away their vote as a protest. There is the normal Libertarian candidate so the protest vote isn't entirely zero.

EDIT: Apparently RFK Jr. is on the Iowa ballot. so there's that. The good news is that any vote for him looks to be one less vote for trump.

Local Maga precinct chair just knocked on my door. Had a golf cart with all the goofy flags including Vets for Trump.

Told him I already voted; he then asked if I voted cruz and Trump.

"Absolutely not, no way, Jan 6.  Thanks for your service."

He looked incredulous. You are white and didn't vote for Trump

Had a big ass Doberman with him so I only spoke through the speakeasy.

Never had a door knock before in 15 years of living here.

I will say that Ralston's analysis is basically "too close to call but tie goes to Dems in Nevada". I think it's a shoulder shrug masked as a prediction, but I'll take it.

We've been following the Kansas playbook, just a decade after the fact.  Kansas is the most similar state to Iowa, IMO, so I find that kind of humorous in the "laughing because I have no other choice" sort of way.

And can confirm on OK.  My cousin's wife is a teacher in Tulsa, and she's ready to burn everything down.

I'd assume the NE corner of Iowa is probably a big factor in that with the combination of what was big Union presence historically with packing and farm equipment makers plus it seemed like a lot of Irish Catholics too.

It definitely was.  Obama won the Driftless Area (and our neighboring WI and MN counties too) both times.

The farm crisis in the 80's made a lot of farmers hate Reagan and Republicans.  These were the guys my grandpa's age (my grandpa is a 90 year old Trump loathing yellow dog Democrat).  Their sons all did really well farming and became Republicans as a result (my old man being a rare exception).  Most of the old Carter Democrat farmers have died out, and I think that was a part of Trump's rise as Boomer and old Gen X rural guys became hardcore Trumpers.

I also think that low income/low education white people (IE white trash - I can say it because I live amongst them) didn't care about politics before Trump, and they turned out in a big way.  They're losing interest again as he's losing steam, and his win never really changed their lives.  Combine that with women overwhelmingly flipping to Harris and I can see how Iowa is making this political shift with different demographics than we saw in the past.

I know.

Most of the people I still talk to are in the sticks. But even they want to a have school 5 days a weeks (eg, Konowa) so they can work and not have to worry about day care.

And the leeching clinic in Holdenville is top notch.

I don't know any typical Democrats are who are so turned off by Harris that they would consider voting for Trump, but I know several typical Republicans (myself included) who are repulsed by Trump to the point of either not voting, or even voting for Harris.  Multiply that by thousands and let's see how things turn out.

Just my personal anecdote from N. Dallas burbs.

Same, but E. Dallas burbs, holla!!

This is my friendly reminder that Mississippi could do the right thing, annex Memphis, and none of this would matter.
