Wall Street Journal: “Iowa is more white and rural than the rest of the country, and Republicans have grown stronger with those voters, particularly through Trump’s populist appeals.”“Meanwhile, Democrats have lost droves of voters in rural areas, and Iowa has fewer of the minority and urban voters who tend to be more liberal and have helped the party offset rural losses. Some Iowa Democrats say they are struggling to connect with voters on cultural issues as Americans have grown more polarized.”A reminder that Barack Obama won Iowa in 2008 and 2012.
