Iowa

President Obama enjoys a slight 2.3 percent lead in Iowa on average, with 49 percent compared to Romney's 46.7 percent. The Gravis Marketing, NBC/WSJ/Marist, and WeAskAmerica polls all put Mr. Obama ahead. More specifically, Gravis places the president at 50 percent and Romney at 46 percent. The NBC/WSJ/Marist grants Obama an 8 percent lead, 51 percent to Romney's 43 percent. WeAskAmerica maintains 46 percent support for Governor Romney and 49 percent for Barack Obama. Rasmussen Reports and ARG have both candidates at a tie, with both polls gauging 48 percent for both Romney and Obama. PPP puts Romney up 1 percent, 49 percent to Obama's 48 percent. Iowa's Des Moines Register recently endorsed Mitt Romney for the President race, the first time that it has endorsed a Republican since Richard Nixon in 1972. It's unclear if the news agency's endorsement will sway many voters in the state.
