Not a great poll for Greenfield, given IA polling, but it's very odd that both high and low turnout are more favorable to Greenfield than... normal turnout.

Well, not sure how Monmouth tries to weight things, but more than half of the electorate has requested early ballots and that has skewed heavily to the Ds, so the Rs will have to show up big on election day to achieve high turnout.  If they don't, then it's a low turnout that favors the early vote even more.

There's no "normal turnout" model - the base numbers are all registered voters. If anything, it suggests that there is a lack of Republican motivation to vote, though we're dealing with small samples here.

But Indy Rep told us that IA was a forever R state due to Ernst retail politics, but our Congressial districts are leading D

Monmouth accurately predicted IA in 2016 (had Trump +8)

So I guess this implies that Greenfield is winning high-propensity and low-propensity voters, but moderate-propensity voters favor Ernst? I guess that makes some sense but it’s still a really weird result.

Yes, but it's strange that both turnout numbers are more favorable for Greenfield, while the RV number is a tie. This would seem to imply that if turnout isn't especially low or high (i.e. normal turnout) that we'd expect it to be better for Ernst, which is... odd.

Not really. Generally both LV screens include less people than the RV pool. However, according to the pollster here, a substantial number of Biden/Greenfield voters (more than Trump/Ernst ones) have reported that they have already voted, which automatically gets them included into the stricter screens even if they otherwise wouldn't be.

The RV number includes people who they don't expect to vote even in the high turnout scenario; so it can almost be considered a "higher turnout" one?

I actually think this is a decent poll for Greenfield. If she wins, it probably will only be by 0-1 point. As someone said earlier, Monmouth is a good pollster in IA. I cant wait to see all the memes if IA really is a .3 percent Greenfield win lol

Obama in Florida = Trump in Iowa = titanium tilt R/D respectively. Sen. Axne is inevitable!

Republicans will hold the Senate because Greenfield will lose. Gideon might lose at this point as well.
