According to a recent Rasmussen Reports survey 49% of likely voters in the state now approve of the job he is doing, while the identical number 49% disapprove.
So the question is which candidate will win the battleground state of Iowa in the general election, “Election 2012 – Iowa: Obama (48%) vs. Romney (48%)?” Question asked by astrologer on October 15th, 2012 at 08:18 pm EDT, New York, N.Y.

1st House – “the favorite”: The Obama Campaign
7th House – “the underdog”: The Romney Campaign
10th House – “the prize”: The Iowa Electoral College Votes
The Moon – “the electorate”: The Iowan Voters
The 1st House of the Obama Campaign is ruled by Mercury. Mercury is essentially debilitated lacking dignity – peregrine in early Scorpio and of modest strength due to its weak placement in 6th House, Testimonies that indicates the Obama’s campaign has lost both its momentum and its air of “inevitability” that it had prior to the 1st Presidential Debate.
The 7th House of the Romney campaign is ruled by Jupiter. Jupiter is in the sign of his debility – Gemini, retrograde and placed inside the cusp of the 1st House, a weak placement for Jupiter since it resides in the Obama Campaign territory. Negative testimonies for the Underdog that indicates that Iowa will not move to from “Toss Up” to “Leaning Romney” category during remainder of the campaign, and will struggle to remain competitive in the final days leading up to Election Day.
The Moon which rules the electorate will conjunct Saturn, ruler of the 10th House,and passes her light from Saturn to Mercury, in her final aspect by conjunction, a most fortuitous testimony for the Favorite that shows a solid voter base of support for the President. However Mercury is besieged by Saturn and Mars a inauspicious testimony that does not augur a good outcome for the President.
Conclusion: Although multiple horary testimonies point to an Obama victory in Iowa, both Obama’s significator and the Moon is in the Via Combusta (15 Libra to 15 Scorpio). Via Combusta means the “burning way”,and the Moon’s placement there makes it a malefic and unpredictable influence in the horary figure, that augurs sudden and volatile developments that will compromise voter turnout to the detriment of the President on Election Day.
