As you can tell by the religion by county map, Iowa and the rest of the Upper Midwest was settled by New Englanders. They brought along their progressive tolerant views with them. Missouri on the other hand was settled by Southerners outside of KC and STL and has the attached Conservatism.
There is also the theory about why super white states can be so progressive. The theory is that states with
low amounts of minorities (less than 10% like Iowa) have little occurrences of white flight , situational racism and low amounts of poverty stricken ghettos.
On the other hand you have a state like Ohio with a 15-20% racial minority population that is large enough to have white flight , racial ghettos and a more racially polarized electorate than Iowa.
