Iowa poll shows drop in support for Grassley
Almost two-thirds of likely Iowa voters polled say it is time for someone other than Chuck Grassley to serve in the U.S. Senate, casting doubt on the prospects of the longest-serving senator in the state's history.
In a poll published Saturday night by the Des Moines Register, 64 percent of those surveyed said "it's time for someone else" to occupy that seat, compared to 27 percent who said they'd vote to elect Grassley to an eighth term in 2022. Seven out of 10 female voters said they wanted to see him replaced.
With a 50-50 U.S. Senate likely to be at least somewhat reshaped by the 2022 elections, Iowa's race is one of the most closely watched in the nation. However, most observers had been waiting to see if Grassley, who will turn 88 in September, was planning to run again before speculating how competitive the race was likely to be.
In the poll, 51 percent of Republicans said they would support Grassley again, but only 7 percent of Democrats and 23 percent of independents.
Notably, his job approval stood at 45 percent. The Des Moines Register said that is the lowest it has been since 1982. Grassley's approval rating was one percentage point lower than the state's other senator, Republican Joni Ernst.

But it's not my state and not my call.
Whether he runs again or not, it will likely be a Republican filling that seat either way.
Although, if he does run, there might be a possibility for a Dem to beat him - but this is the state that chose to send the pig castrater BACK to Washington.
Edit to add: I think Diane Feinstein should not run for reelection either - in fact, she should have passed the baton in 2018.
