I Have confidence Iowa is going to be BLUE!!
Although I live in the Iowa City area and it is typically very liberal, how are the other parts of the state looking???

I am Poll watching on Tuesday, I am really excited!

Whats everyone else up to to get out the vote?

1. It sure appears that way

Checking in on my birth state where most of my family still lives. Thought I'd pass along some encouraging info for all Iowa DUers.

After breaking the 47% floor on 10/25/2004, bush* continues to lose ground to Kerry. And unlike where I am now, the Zogby polling data is consistent and understandable....

10/30/2004: Kerry 47.4% / bush* 45.9%
10/29/2004: Kerry 44.4% / bush* 44.6%
10/28/2004: Kerry 44.9% / bush* 43.9%
10/27/2004: Kerry 44.8% / bush* 45.2%
10/26/2004: Kerry 45.3% / bush* 44.8%
10/25/2004: Kerry 43.7% / bush* 47.4%

What is causing the shift to Kerry? The undecided are breaking heavily towards Kerry.

BTW: I know a few of your N.L. neighbors. Welcome to DU
:hi:

7. Yes, they are.....

I hope the neighbors you know are DEMS!!

In my yute I lived for a short time in the trailer park off the main highway. Don't know if it's still there. That's when N.L. was a one horse farm town and I know things have really changed there.

2. Kerry is taking Iowa!

I'm in Johnson county is well. But, Iowa has a very high population of seniors, and I know a lot of them that are very unhappy with the Medicare and prescription drug costs situations.

Not much hope of that going blue. It's fundie territory. I would stay as far away as possible if I were you.

unofficial sign poll. At least 10 to 1 Kerry. Drove around Clinton yesterday, 6 Shrub signs and lost count of Kerry after 25. It was amazing!

11. Muscatine County

We registered 1,800 Dems, the pugs 239 and 100 or so Independents. Iowa is true blue not doubt.
