IA-SEN: Ernst holds narrow lead over Democratic challenger in Iowa

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) holds a narrow lead over Democratic challenger Theresa Greenfield less than a week before Election Day, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.

The poll, which included responses from 1,225 likely Iowa voters, found that Ernst has 48 percent support, while Greenfield has 46 percent. The difference is within the report’s 2.8 percentage point margin of error.

Quinnipiac’s Oct. 7 poll had Greenfield with 50 percent support, compared with Ernst’s 45 percent.

Thursday’s results came as Quinnipiac also reported that the presidential race is statistically tied in the Hawkeye State, with President Trump getting 47 percent support and Democratic nominee Joe Biden at 46 percent. In the university’s Oct. 7 poll, Biden held a slight lead over Trump, 50 percent to 45 percent.

"In 2016, the Hawkeye State gave the president a nine-point win, and in 2014, elected Republican Joni Ernst as the first female Senator from the state by eight points,” Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy said in a press release on Thursday’s findings. “But now, less than a week until Election Day 2020, both the presidential and Senate races are too tight to call.”

She is not only an idiot, she is a terrible senator. All she has done the past 4 years is kiss Trump’s ass. Why are voters dumb?

they want to destroy as much of the gubmint as possible (except for example, in IA, IN, ND, SD, E, KS, OH, WI, etc cases, the part that sends the greedy white power shit-kicker farmers billions in aide cheques...... socialism for me, but bootstraps for thee)
