Ernst lead evaporates in Iowa Senate race...leads by just 1 point 🙂

The Senate race in Iowa is tightening, according to a new poll that shows Sen. Joni Ernst's (R-Iowa) lead over her likely Democratic opponent, Theresa Greenfield, narrowing to just 1 point.

The survey from the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling shows Ernst leading Greenfield, 43 percent to 42 percent. That suggests a significantly closer race than a previous poll conducted by the firm in December that found Ernst ahead of Greenfield by a 6-point margin.

The poll also shows Ernst's approval rating in her home state is underwater. Thirty-seven percent of respondents said they approve of the job she's doing in office compared to 43 percent who disapprove.

The proportion in the state's populace of vicious reactionaries to whom Democrats, as exemplars of the modern and urban, are simply anathema, for reasons ranging from abortion to being supportive black people.

Where is the other 15 percent. That’s a huge percentage that either didn’t answer or don’t like either or like both. Kinda makes it a worthless poll.

areas will wonder why all those Hearse's every day. Yupper,the Busy-Body-Network kicks into high gear. Once planting season finishes,which should be by the 15TH,watch for things to get interesting. Busy Bodies will be a flapping their Gums big time. They all read the O-Bit's in the local Rag.
