What else did we ask in this Iowa Poll?

In addition, the poll will test Iowans' feelings toward the Republican presidential candidates and Iowa Republican leaders Gov. Kim Reynolds and U.S. Sens. Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley.

The poll also will gauge likely Republican caucusgoers' thoughts on who should lead the Republican Party, whether they think Trump has committed serious crimes and if they believe his claims that he won the 2020 presidential election.

In future days, the poll also will show whether likely GOP caucusgoers are more or less likely to give presidential candidates their support based on their positions on issues such as abortion restrictions, military aid to Ukraine, banning gender-affirming care to youth, fighting "woke" agendas, using the military on the southern border, privatizing Social Security and criticizing Trump for actions that have resulted in federal indictments.

It also will gauge likely caucusgoers' support of Iowa's new "fetal heartbeat" law, which bans most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, and asks how they would describe themselves, such as MAGA Republican, moderate, pro-life, anti-Trump, anti-woke and gun enthusiast.
