Iowa: Bush 48% Kerry 46%
The latest Rasmussen Reports polling data shows President George W. Bush leading Senator John Kerry in Iowa 48% to 46%. That's well within the survey's margin of sampling error. Kerry was ahead in Iowa for most of the year until the Republican National Convention. Since then, weekly updates provided to Premium Members have generally shown Bush ahead by 1-3 percentage points. During Election 2000, Al Gore won a narrow 49% to 48% victory in Iowa. This latest survey data keeps Iowa in the "Toss-up" category for our Electoral College projections.
