Republican Joni Ernst leads Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley by just one point, according to a Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics poll released Saturday.
Among likely voters, 47 percent favored Ernst and 46 percent favored Braley.
This latest poll shows the Iowa Senate race tightening. A late September Des Moines Register poll found that 44 percent of likely voters supported Ernst and just 38 percent supported Braley.
According to TPM’s Polltracker average, Ernst leads Braley by 4.3 points.
The Des Moines Register surveyed 1,000 likely voters Oct. 3-8 with a margin of error plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
Could it be that visit by FL Obama or that last debate when she got crush or could it have been a combination of both?
I can’t say that trendline is very friendly for Braley, unfortunately.
That trendline seems to be missing a few polls, including the one in this report (strangely). I’ve noticed that a lot recently.
