Discussion: Poll Shows GOPer Ernst Now Leading Dem Braley In Iowa Senate Race

Discussion for article #228172

Sarah Palin sans mukluks…

Just what D.C. needs, another Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Marsha Blackburn level dumb ass. No doubt Chuck Todd will be pimping her as the next ‘very serious person’.

Outlier. I’m from Iowa and was just there this past weekend. The race is definitely close. But no way Joni has has that big a lead.

How can anyone vote for this twit? She makes your average moron look like Einstein.

Come on midwest, you can disown the Bachmann stereotype. I know you want to.

The good people of Iowa are too sensible to send a complete nutcase like Ernst to the Senate.

Sadly, no! As lousy as republicans have tarnished the record of congress for several years now, the country will now reward them with control of the Senate?? Mind is boggled!

This new result is from the Des Moines Register poll.

538 says it has the best record in Iowa. Also notes that the small sample size could lead to exaggerated changes, and cautions that any single poll should not be given too much weight, no matter how good the pollster. Not much comfort there, though.

“Among likely voters, 44 percent supported Ernst while just 38 percent said they would vote for Braley.”

This is depressing. I do not understand why people vote against their own self interest.

They’re morons in IA.

Hope you’re right.

Where’s the other 15% at on this?

Ernst leads Braley.

Let that sink in for a moment.

A state that could elect somebody like her is a state to be avoided.

You might want to consider that the next time you consider passing through Iowa on a cross country trip, or considering a pale to move your business.

I can never understand states that have the good sense to elect Tom Harkin, but are crazy enough to elect Chuck Grassley.
