  1. I truly hope winds will change and remove her from office. In my house I have a new voter waiting for this moment. 

  3. Yay. It’d be nice to see the animal husbandry lady finally dethroned.

  4. people finally looking out for themselves instead of worrying about where the drag queens are, and who the transgender is that lives 80 miles down the highway.

  5. 🎶 Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make the GOP go. 🎶

    I can’t help it. Everytime I read a post title, song lyrics come to mind. I’m sure it will pass.

  6. Certainly a sign of some kind. But let’s not forget 2024’s Iowa polls.

  10. Who cares this woman completely embarrassed herself in the last election she won. Didn’t know the price of soy in her own state got absolutely destroyed in that debate. Still won re-election. Maybe since it’s a midterm it will matter but I doubt it

  11. We all know how this is likely to end but Rob Sand is also running for gov and that coattail boost + general 2026 anger maybe actually makes her vulnerable? This isn’t Kentucky or South Carolina.

  13. I don’t want to hear about any polls. Thank you and good night.

  15. I’d be all for it. But we had Iowa polls telling us VP Harris was on track to win. Be optimistic gang but do not feel comfortable.

  16. It’s a perverse irony that Republicans are very fast to call polls fake, but the election results always seem to show the polls are wrong.

    Maybe it’s time for everyone to ignore polls.

  18. I am once again here to bitch about polls the media will post nonstop because it’s easier than talking about policies such as healthcare

  19. You got that right. Nobody answers polling calls anymore… 🤔

  20. I think what we are going to see is more Republicans being edged out. People are fed up with what they are doing.

  21. How many times do we have to f#$king do this? Polls don’t matter

  22. 🥱…. until it really happens. I don’t trust polls, media, etc.

  23. Democrat **Nathan Sage**. If you’re dropping her name use his name FFS. POS Newsweek garbage.

  24. The Democrat in these polls has to be up 6-7 percent in these polls to have a chance. 

  25. > Ernst led each challenger by five to six points in initial matchups, with 10 percent of respondents saying they were undecided, the pollster found. But when pollsters read biographies of Democratic candidates, Sage established a slight lead over Ernst.

    So it’s not even a lead in the initial H2H matchup, but only after messaging is applied. Disappointing – though I guess that’s a close enough starting line.

  26. That’s nice. I can’t wait for all those people who polled for the dem to not show up to the polls come midterms

  27. The tide is starting to turn run scared conservatives run scared maga.

  29. I’ll believe it when I see the actual election results.

  32. This doesn’t matter in the slightest. Ernst is just one of a rogue’s gallery of MAGA Morons that have bleached veneers and an empty skull, who has done nothing for her constituents and has used her office to enrich herself and her cronies at the expense of the poorest amongst us. Iowans will nevertheless vote to reelect her by an overwhelming margin because politics are treated as sports by her ignorant base. If we had *any* justice in this country, Ernst and her ilk would be removed from office, prosecuted, fined, and incarcerated. If we had justice, but we do not.

  33. Oh like how the 2024 Iowa also said Harris would win the state? This is political astrology. There’s too much reverence given to polls. There must be sanctions for an incorrect poll before anyone should trust them again

  37. Weird poll. The main reason why Sage is ahead is because it includes his biography, two different versions of it in fact, that helps negate name ID advantages. It’s also not a phone poll but a mix of sms and web panel respondents. I wouldn’t put much stock in it, though I think it’s interesting in a sad way that Wahls loses support when people read his biography.

  38. That’s what they said in 2024. The Democratic Party will continue to be obliterated until it actually acts like an opposition party.
