CBS News reported that President Trump continued to court Iowa voters days before the midterm elections, and that many of those voters were weighing his past two years in the presidency before going to the polls. The report, by CBS News' Lana Zak, is posted as a CBS News video report and is headlined around what it calls Trump's "broken promises" on the Iran war.

According to CBS News, the report centers on how Iowans view that record. The published headline and summary do not say which promises are meant, when they were made, or who has said they were broken. The summary describes voters as weighing the president's time in office but does not quote any voter or describe their specific views.

CBS News also did not say in the summary how many Iowa voters appear in the report, in which communities they were found, or whether they were chosen to represent a broader group. The summary does not indicate the dates or locations of the president's appearances in Iowa, beyond describing them as occurring in the days before the midterms.

CBS News listed the report as published on November 2, 2026. Because the material available for this account consists only of a headline and a short summary, the details reported here are limited to those statements. Any further detail about the report's findings, sources, or context is not contained in the material available to this desk.
