Biden leads with married women, 52% to 45%; unmarried women, 64% to 25%; mothers with children under 18 in the household, 55% to 39%; white women without a college degree, 56% to 37%; and white women with a college degree, 54% to 43%.

The Democratic motivation that has come from Republicans trying to push through Trump’s Supreme Court nominee could be felt most deeply in red states that Trump is fighting to hang on to. Trump won Iowa by nine points in 2016, but that lead is long gone.
The writing is on the wall, as Biden is in a position to make Iowa blue again.
