Turek Edges Hinson in Tight Iowa Senate Poll

An internal Global Strategy Group poll of 1,000 likely general‑election voters shows Democrat Josh Turek leading Ashley Hinson 47% to 45% in Iowa, with Turek outperforming the state’s partisan dynamics and enjoying stronger personal favorability despite Republicans’ registration edge and Trump’s unfavorable overall rating. Independents tilt against Trump, and GOP concerns over trade/tariffs are noted as potential obstacles. The digest also reports a bipartisan House deal on the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) and updates to the related KIDS Act, aiming to strengthen online safety for kids and address AI laws, with floor action anticipated. Separately, House Republicans push to advance Reconciliation 3.0 amid ongoing budget and policy discussions before the July 4 recess.

Ashley Hinson in a general election that polls show as a toss-up, with strong support from Iowa Democrats and past endorsements from figures like former Sen. Tom Harkin.
