Iowa Republican candidate for U.S. Senate Joni Ernst seems to be inching ahead of Rep. Bruce Braley, according to a new USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Wednesday.
The poll found Ernst leading Braley 47 percent to 43 percent among likely Iowa voters. That poll followed a Quinnipiac University poll earlier in the day showing 47 percent for Ernst to 45 percent for Braley among likely voters.
Recent polling has generally shown Ernst with a lead of somewhere in between 2 to 3 percentage points over Braley.
The USA Today/Suffolk University also found 7.4 percent remain undecided.
In late August a USA Today/Suffolk University poll found Ernst and Braley tied at 40 percent each.
Before the new USA Today/Suffolk University poll, the TPM Polltracker average found Ernst with a 3.5 point lead over Braley.
The poll was conducted among 500 likely voters between Oct. 11 and Oct. 14. The margin of error was plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Jesus. There are simply no words.
Suffolk is the same pollster that pulled out of VA,NC and FLA a month before the 2012 election because they concluded that Romney had already won those 3 states.
The prospect of a “western swinging door” of nutcases in Congress is sickening. Bachmann leaves the House, Ernst enters the Senate? It’s a world gone mad!!
P.S. Is that a broom on Ernst’s head??
the Demowimps can’t even win this one wow. i guess this saying is true even chuck todd knows it. As a GOPer member of Congress explained some years ago, bipartisanship consists of the Democrats doing what the GOP tells them to do.
