This is the classic North vs. South divide. White Iowans are less conservative than white Southerners, so they vote less Republican than white Southerners.
The 1980s Farm Crisis also contributed to this. The mostly white Driftless Region shifted dramatically to the left, causing a drastic leftward shift statewide. Even nowadays, the Driftless Region votes to the left of neighboring rural areas.
