The poll found support for Greenfield across the board. She lead among men by 6% and with women by 17%.

Ernst is running for re-election for the first time. She beat Democrat Bruce Braley in 2014 by 7% on Election Day.

I don’t think trying to profit off the Supreme Court vacancy hours after RBG’s death was the wisest move on her end.

Ernst relied on lies, Greenfield called her out. TG had a pretty good night.
Still that poll feels way out of line.

I just sent her a few bucks. Along with Mike Espy, Steve Bullock, Jamie Harrison, and MJ Hagar.

Let's do this thing for Joe and our future!!

I figured knocking off the castrator was a long shot. Maybe not. Greenfield's support across demographics is surprising.

The only Iowa polls that I take seriously are those conducted by The Des Moines Register and J. Ann Selzer.

Iowa is a weird place. Blue cities, farmland, and then there is Western Iowa...also known as Vichy Iowa.

Almost every poll on the Iowa Senate race has Greenfield up by 3.

just a week or so ago. Would be surprised by this result and it’s probably freaking Greenfield out.

I wouldn't be surprised if Biden's debate helped her though.
