Sources

Verification note. Totals and subgroup figures read from the syndicated Des Moines Register Iowa Poll write-up. The Register did not publish a public topline for this wave, so the literal question wording is unavailable and the text below is the newspaper's description of each item. || Percentages and methodology read from the Des Moines Register's Iowa Poll write-up (syndicated copy retrieved in session; the Register's own page is paywalled). NOT VERIFIED against a topline - the exact stem was not published in the story, so question_text_verbatim is false. Fielded days before Gov. Reynolds signed SF 538.

Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.
