For a basis of comparison, in the 2016 CNN exit poll, Independents favored Trump over Clinton by 13 % (51-38) with Independents representing 35% of all voters, meaning the poll is showing a 24% swing in Independents in the 3 months since the election.

Iowa Poll: Trump's approval rating is underwater with Iowans

This is the first snapshot taken of one of the Trump swing states from 2016. It doesn't necessarily mean anything at all, but it's interesting to monitor how Independents as a group respond to Trump's actions in the few states that are contestable.

For those of you that doubt the veracity of this poll, their final poll before the election had Trump carrying Iowa by 7%. He won Iowa by 9%.

Armed with this information, printed out on a piece of paper, I now have something I can use to start up a campfire.


Seriously -- what does any of this matter?

He's thin skinned, has no filter and can be impulsive, so I'd bet he does tweet something goofy if he reads about the poll.

So?

Trump is POTUS, so it doesn't really matter for nearly four years.
Yeah, it is going to be a really long campaign cycle, too, since his first re-election rally is this weekend.

Of course he is going to hold rallies. It only makes sense due to the full court press by his opposition. Politically, it's a good move on his part.

The left has been sending people to GOP congressional town hall meetings in an attempt to erode his support in the capital. These rallies will show that he still has strong support among the people which will bolster him in congress.

Tactically, it's a wise move.

Other Presidents called them Town Hall meetings.
