48/47. Both candidates are almost identically seen.

Maybe the race has tightened, but I question whether it is actually tied. Other recent polling still has Ernst with a small lead and I suspect that is where it will end up.

It is a little odd, though, that Iowa has possibly tightened as other races have moved towards the GOP. Why?

Probably because Braley went from massively underperforming to performing okay.

Waiting for another poll to confirm that, but that's quite relieving.

This is an interesting development. This race will be down to the wire.

My bet was always that IA's light blue tint would assert itself, so can't say I'm surprised.

I remember in 2010 how the bottom nearly fell out completely for the Dems in Iowa. IA-1 and IA-2 weren't considered competitive and then in the final weeks, the DCCC started spending money to support Braley and Loebsack which probably made the difference for them. It's why I have been taking Ernst's lead at face value.

There's also the high Indie concentration, which is great. However, I'm pretty sure Braley is winning Indies, which slightly propelled him into a MoE lead with this already opaquely conducted poll.

Other polls have shown Braley closing hard. Once again, my prediction is turning out to be correct.

With Braley getting thrashed again and again, I guess they had to trot out PPP.

Guys, when you conduct 10 polls of a race where one candidate leads by 1-3 points, you're bound to get 1 or 2 that show the other candidate with a narrow lead. This is totally consistent with what we know, and Ernst is still on track to win.

This is a poll for a democratic group.
But I'm not surprised. This race will be a very close race.

The numbers are not good for Ernst. In other polls, she went from 6% leads to just 2%, so that indicates that Braley is closing.

The last one had Ernst up two. Time to be realistic.

While this is a partisan-affiliated poll, I have not noticed a substantive difference between their public and sponsored polls this cycle. While this adds slightly more credence to the idea that Ernst has lost ground, the fact that every other poll shows her up by 1-4 points demonstrates that she still has the edge.

Oh, Republicans here.

Poll shows Ernst up six: "We're going to net eight seats!"
Poll shows Braley up one: "Nah, this can't be tied."

It's not, and we're still gaining eight seats Smiley
