US EditionSurvey: Iowa Democrats Seek Early Caucus Role in 2028 Election
A survey shows 65% of Iowa Democrats want early caucuses in 2028 but 51% oppose defying the Democratic National Committee calendar, reflecting division within the party.
- Saturday, the Iowa Democratic Party released survey results showing 65% of Iowa Democratic voters want the caucuses to be first or early in 2028 to better influence the nominating process, discussed at the IDP State Central Committee meeting in Des Moines.
- Facing DNC concerns about 2020 reporting and caucus accessibility, the Iowa Democratic Party launched a survey in August to gauge voter views on early caucus involvement in 2028.
- Among respondents, 44.7% preferred Iowa be first and 20.6% backed an early window, while 12.6% supported Super Tuesday or later and 22% did not care; 74% want easier participation and higher turnout.
- A slim majority of Iowa Democratic voters said 51.1% oppose defying the DNC calendar, while Rita Hart urged an early, inclusive process and thanked survey participants.
- The IDP recommended seeking a waiver by Jan. 16, 2026, and if denied, Iowa could hold an unsanctioned contest like New Hampshire as the national calendar is finalized in 2027.
