The Des Moines Register recently released their latest Iowa Poll, with a shocking result in the Presidential race. In this new poll, Donald Trump leads President Biden by a whopping 18 percentage points in Iowa. That is a margin over double what Trump won Iowa by just four years ago. Alan Ostergren from the Kirkwood institute is in Studio 130 to discuss these new numbers and much more.

One big question: What do these poll numbers mean for downballot races in Iowa? Chris and Alan look at several state legislative races, and try to determine what issues democratic candidates might offer to try and fight these historic headwinds.

Alan also shares some insightful thoughts on the criminal prosecutions of Donald Trump. Alan's background as a prosecutor gives him a wealth of knowledge and experience to draw on as he points out the danger of these politically-motivated prosecutions.
