Early polling shows Ashley Hinson narrowly leading Josh Turek in Iowa’s 2026 Senate race. Analysts say Democrats are not fully converting anti-Trump sentiment into votes, even with Trump’s approval weak. Hinson remains the GOP nominee after winning the Republican primary. The polling keeps Republicans slightly favored, but the race looks competitive. Weak Trump approval has not yet translated into a clear Democratic edge, leaving some uncertainty.
