Good News Today!! Hatch gaining on Branstad! [View all]

From Hatch's facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/senatorjackhatch

BREAKING: Branstad 46, Hatch 40 (Rasmussen). http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2014/iowa/election_2014_iowa_governor

another post a few minutes later:

What's important about this morning's Rasmussen Poll:
1. Our television ads the past 2 weeks are breaking through
2. Iowans are tuning in to media coverage and the debates and learning about the most scandal-ridden administration in Iowa history.
3. Our long-predicted surge in the polls as Iowans begin to pay attention after Labor Day is real.
4. We have always said this will be a close race, and we're being proven right. Our opponents preen as if its a blowout and they are absolutely wrong.

My comment: Remember Rasmussen is a republican leaning poll so this news has to be quite concerning to Branny
