Sen. Joni Ernst’s poll numbers have sunk after she voted against convicting President Donald Trump following his impeachment trial.

“According to a new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll, Ernst’s approval rating has slipped from a high point of 57% in February 2019 to 47% today,” the newspaper reported Saturday.

Ernst is facing her first reelection as a senator in 2020 and her seat is widely considered one of the most likely to flip.

“The poll of 800 Iowa adults, which includes 667 likely voters, was conducted by Selzer & Co., March 2-5. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for Iowa adults and plus or minus 3.8 percentage points for likely voters,” the newspaper reported. “Iowans have been polled 10 times since February 2015 about whether they approve or disapprove of the way Joni Ernst has handled her job as U.S. senator.”

The poll found only 41% of Iowa voters definitely planning to re-elect Ernst.

That is absolutely amazing that 41% think it is just fine to basically enable treason.............and she thinks it is just fine and dandy to have foreign powers inflict damage in elections.......................

She should be at 0%....................

November 3, 2020 and January 20, 2021 cannot get here fast enough..................

1. Yes, she should be at zero however there are always going to be some who support traitors if they

think it might benefit them in some way.
Of course they are delusional because the majority will not be helped in any way.

2. For a little perspective

In 1932, at possibly the worst point in the depression, 39.7% of the US population voted for the man who presided over the crisis.

And in 1936, 36.5% still voted for the Republican party.

5. Thank you for the food for thought. n/t

10. That 30-40% has morphed into the #MAGA #Trumpster swamp fans.

3. Yeah, but doesn't she know how to "cut the pork?"

4. Making America Great Again

Getting rid of Joni would be the first stop to making America great Again. Now lets start working on Collins and the rest of those Trumpkins.

6. Foolish, thoughtless, self-centered idiots. It's time the space they take up was returned to the US.

They have never had any interest in the people of the country they pretend to serve. They need to be removed this time.

11. Maine folks are doing a great job in trying to get rid of concerned collins

7. I never believed the fairy tale

that when Trump became unpopular that Republicans in Congress would run away from him. It's like they are on the SS Trump/Titanic and it is sinking but they threw off the life boats long ago. There is nowhere for Congressional Republicans to go but shackled to Trump.

They better keep focused on removing Democrats from voter rolls and spiking up those voting machines because they are going to have to cheat to win. I see another blue wave a'coming.

8. Cheating to win has been

the gop way for many years. It's what they do. What with gerrymandered voter maps, closing voting stations in "some" districts, and having their people monitor everything. Then along came tRump with his close friend Putin, and they were in thrall to him. The avalanche of rubles did not hurt, either.

9. She ran on "castrating hogs,"

But when her country counted on her to do it to the biggest pig in US history, she failed the test.

Joni, it's time to go back to making the biscuits at Hardee's.
