Trump holds 43% among Iowa voters while Haley, DeSantis tie for second place: poll

President Donald Trump holds 43 percent of Republican voters in Iowa while Nikki Haley has rocketed into a second-place tie with Ron DeSantis at 16 percent. This gives Trump a 27 percent lead in the Republican field. He's up a point from the last round of Iowa polling in August, but for DeSantis, tying for second is a decline.

DeSantis had been at 19 percent in August, but he's now down 3 points. For Haley, however, it's a huge boost. She was at only 6 percent in August but the latest numbers from a poll done by Selzer & Co. give her a boost of 10 percent. An Emerson College poll in September saw the duo tied at 8 percent.

The two have been duking it out of late, with both candidates being outspoken about the conflict in the Middle East. On that issue, they've been taking aim at each other, but not at Trump. Trump has said that he stands with Israel, as well as with President Benjamin Netanyahu, though he pointed out some of Netanyahu's missteps in the lead-up to this war.
