NEW: Josh Turek Leads Ashley Hinson in IA-SEN General Election Poll

Today Turek outperforms partisanship and leads Hinson with room to grow as Trump is underwater

Des Moines, IA – Josh Turek for Iowa released a poll today showing Josh Turek currently leading Ashley Hinson 47-45 as Donald Trump’s favorabilities remain underwater across the electorate (-7) and especially so among registered independents (-28).

The key takeaway: Josh has significant room for growth even as he outperforms partisanship while Hinson’s underwater favorability drags her down. In fact, among Iowa voters who are currently familiar with both candidates, Josh wins them 62% to Hinson’s 36%.

“Josh Turek is winning this race because Iowans are sick and tired of multi-millionaire politicians like Ashley Hinson who sell out working families while they get rich,” said Turek for Iowa campaign manager Brendan Koch. “We will spend the next 134 days connecting with Iowans in every corner of the state and across the political spectrum to send a fighter for the working class to the U.S. Senate.” 

Momentum has only compounded for Josh in the weeks since the general election began. Immediately after Josh’s “dominant” primary victory, both Cook Political Report and Saboto’s Crystal Ball shifted the race towards Turek, citing his “history of winning in areas President Donald Trump carried” and “an increasingly favorable” environment. Just 48 hours later, the Josh Turek for Iowa campaign announced raising over $1 million thanks to a surge in grassroots support.
