Emerson-IA: Hubbell +5

20%+ undecided = Trash
Emerson = Trash

It will be refreshing to see Iowa's (and the Midwest's in general) total reversal in characterization as soon as they vote for literally one Democrat again.

More seriously, Iowa was and will be (for the foreseeable future) a swing state.  Not a surprising poll.

Dead cat bounce at best. National Dems have shown they would rather flush away their Midwestern hopes down the toilet to chase billionaire trophy wives in Atlanta and Phoenix.

1) Everyone's assumption that Iowa is a populist haven just because it went Obama-Trump is kind of strange to me ... well, not really from you.

2) Citation needed on that incredibly odd last part about trophy wives.

Sun belt billionaires will create the new #permanentmajority for Democrats.

Eat your heart out Midwestern "WWC" #populists .

Good to know 1%ers like you finally feel comfy among the Dems.

LOL, I wish.

If that WI poll is accurate, I think Hubbell being a little ahead makes sense, even though this is Emerson.

The Selzer poll having Reynolds ahead by 5 in January was why I've had this as a toss up for a while actually. If she could only lead Hubbell by 5 when he was completely unknown, it seems logical it would be a toss up once his name recognition went up.

The polls in the Midwest (Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa) clearly indicate that the Trump bloom is off.

But I thought these were all safe R states now!?

The Midwest is now seeing what voting R is doing to them.

At least they seem able to learn from their mistakes, unlike Southern whites.

Yeah, we thought they learned in 2006/2008 too. Just wait for the next Democratic president and the GOP will be their saviors again in the next midterm.
