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.
