Western Iowa’s Tossup races get Tossed… New Poll!

Emerson College’s latest Iowa polling has dem gov candidate Hubbell up by 5%, but the big story is in western Iowa where in southwest Iowa’s 3rd congressional district, a “lean democratic” pickup according to 538’s “deluxe” forecast where dem challenger Axne trails incumbent GOPer Young by 16%, way outside the MOE. The good news is that in northwest Iowa incumbent bigot GOPer King has only a 10% within the MOE lead on dem challenger Scholten. I was in IA4 last week and noted a definite lack of enthusiasm for King. Hope to be on the ground in the district again tomorrow and will report back as well as process the poll’s internals.
