An early poll of the general election of the U.S. Senate race in Iowa finds state Sen. Joni Ernst (R) leading Rep. Bruce Braley (D-IA) by 1 percentage point.
The poll, released Friday, found Ernst with 45 percent support to Braley with 44 percent. Another 3 percent said they preferred another candidate in the race while 9 percent said they were undecided.
The poll is one of the first surveys of the general election matchup since Braley and Ernst won their party’s respective nominations on Tuesday.
The Rasmussen Reports poll was conducted among 750 likely Iowa voters between June 4 and June 5. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

4/3-4/8 Suffolk Braley +8
Since then Ernst has pretty consistently made a fool of herself. House of Ras is still a house of lies.
That means Braley is actually leading by 3+ points.
So if I get this right, the Fat Junkie’s pollster puts the Pig Nutter slightly ahead of a guy name Bruce… in Iowa.
Given that Joni Ernst’s proof of her ability to govern rests almost soley upon her skills as a master castrater of pigs [incipient hogs?], maybe instead of debates, the two contenders could engage each other in lively contests of bucolic legerdemain. Since Ernst has an obvious advantage in the pig de-testicularizing department, corn shucking, chicken plucking, hog slopping, hay baling and artificial insemination of domestic livestock would round out the comptetition. The winner goes on to the Senate because, God knows, competancy at governance is not at all important in comparison to success in the tractor pulling circuit.
