WASHINGTON (AP) — The majority of Iowa Republicans who are caucusing believe in the need to “Make America Great Again,” and that’s a sign of how Donald Trump and his political movement have transformed a state party that denied him a victory eight years ago. AP VoteCast found that nearly all those participating in the nation’s first presidential contest on Monday night want significant change in how the country is run. About 6 in 10 identify as supporters of the movement that Trump jumpstarted in his winning 2016 campaign. AP VoteCast is a survey of more than 1,500 voters who said they planned to take part in the caucuses. The survey is conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
