I'm happy to read this-couldn't even imagine how Ernst could be besting anyone.

Dead Heat in Iowa

A new Loras College poll in Iowa finds Joni Ernst (R) deadlocked with Bruce Braley (D) in the U.S. Senate race, 42% to 42%.

1. Simple answer.. Koch brothers and Karl Rove

We have just been blasted with Koch and Rove money since spring.. and that is the simple truth... Ernst is so bad, so very very bad.. that even with all those billions they have been pumping in here.. and lies they have been mailing out to people.. it is still tied..He was down 6 points a couple of weeks ago..but I said then, that was a real outlier because all the other polls had them tied or Braley ahead.

The Des Moines Register does good polling..but even good polls can fall on the outside of the line from time to time..

Edit to add: Don't get me wrong.. in no way shape form or fashion am I saying it is in the bag for the Democrats.. if we do not keep on point.. the whole effort to try and stymie people by saying that either there is no hope because Ernst is so far ahead.. or we have it walking away.. nope nope nope.. that has been the other sides tactic the last few weeks.. trying to discourage voter turnout..
