NEARLY 30 PERCENT OF DEMOCRATS WHO COMPLETED THE SURVEY SAID IN-PERSON PRECINCT CAUCUS GATHERINGS SHOULD BE MAINTAINED, BUT THE PARTY SHOULD FIGURE OUT A WAY FOR PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE IF THEY CANNOT ATTEND ON CAUCUS NIGHT.
RESPONDENTS WERE SPLIT ON WHETHER THE IOWA DEMOCRATIC PARTY SHOULD “GO ROGUE” AND HOLD FIRST-IN-THE-NATION CAUCUSES IF THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE DECIDES ANOTHER STATE SHOULD GO FIRST.
HART SAYS IOWA DEMOCRATS WILL MEET THE JANUARY 16TH DEADLINE AND APPLY TO THE D-N-C TO BE AMONG THE HANDFUL OF STATES ALLOWED TO HOLD CAUCUSES AND PRIMARIES IN EARLY 2028.
