2. You can see hints of the emerging Democratic problems in Iowa and rural Maine here.
It should be noted that almost every county about 50,000 voters in Iowa is trending Democrat (Polk, Linn, Black Hawk, Scott, Story). Only exceptions are Johnson (already high 60's Dem) and Dubuque (possibly the one county Dems may have to worry about in the future). Should also be noted that these counties are also gaining many more people compared to the counties trending Republican (other than Dallas County and up in the Northwest part of the state). Just some thoughts.
Yes, but looking at the Senate map, Des Monie's suburbs - which are growing - look very GOP-friendly.
