NEW NRCC Battleground Poll: Zach Nunn and Mariannette Miller-Meeks Have One Big Beautiful Advantage

August 28, 2025

A new NRCC battleground survey of 46 House districts, including Iowa’s First and Third Congressional Districts, shows Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn are well positioned to win heading into the 2026 election.

The new polling shows President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill gives Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn a decisive messaging advantage, both to highlight wins for working families and to hammer Democrats for opposing them. The survey found voters are more likely to vote for a Republican, like Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn, who:

  • Voted for the largest middle-class tax cut in generations, worth up to $11,000 per year for a typical family
  • Cut taxes for households under $100,000
  • Backed pro-growth policies protecting/creating 7.2M jobs and 1M small business jobs annually
  • Protected a 25% increase in Medicaid funding to ensure coverage stays intact
  • Cut taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security


“From delivering the largest middle-class tax cut in generations to protecting jobs and lowering costs for working families, Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn are putting Iowans first. In 2026, voters are ready to send a loud message by keeping Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn in Congress.” – NRCC Spokesman Emily Tuttle
