High Energy Prices Give Democrats Hope in Iowa
Original: High Energy Prices Give Democrats Hope of an Unusual Breakthrough in Iowa
The Wall Street Journal reports that surging energy prices are giving Democrats hope of an unusual breakthrough in Iowa, a state that has trended Republican in recent election cycles. Rising utility and fuel costs may be reshaping the political calculus for voters there, opening a rare opportunity for the party in a region where it has struggled.
Why now: Rising energy costs are being framed as a live political issue that could shift voter loyalties in a traditionally Republican-leaning state.
