The most recent Iowans for Tax Relief Foundation Poll, conducted by Cygnal, shows a majority of Iowans still want protections from income taxes and property taxes, and favor Donald Trump over Kamala Harris in November’s election. Almost 70 percent (68.6%) of those surveyed want the State Legislature to limit the growth of property taxes to 2 percent annually, including a majority of Republicans (76%), Democrats (58%) and Independents (70%). Similarly, support for amending Iowa’s Constitution to require a supermajority vote of the State Legislature to vote yes on any tax increase transcends party lines with a majority of Republicans (83%), Democrats (54%) and Independents (68%) in favor of the proposal.
Looking ahead to November’s election, Donald Trump (51.3%) leads Kamala Harris (44.6%) in a head-to-head matchup.
Republicans lead Democrats by nearly eight points (50.5% to 42.6%) on a generic congressional ballot. Inflation/Economy (21.0%) and Illegal Immigration/Border (15.8%) were identified as the most important issues in deciding who Iowans plan to vote for in Congress, with Threats to Democracy (14.6%) following closely behind. The percent of Iowans who identified Abortion as their most important issue moved up only slightly, growing from 9.8% in July to 10.6% now.
