Swing District for Blum(R). See Comments.


TOPICS: News/Current Events; Politics/Elections; US: Iowa
KEYWORDS: blum; iowa; loebsack; poll
IA#2 (All Ballot Requests at equivalent points in election):

10/18/18: D-35,513; R-27,192; I-13,326

10/20/16: D-50,704; R-33,710; I-23,286

10/16/14: D-40,176; R-30,138; I-19,151

Moderate Dem drop-off, slight GOP drop-off and significant Indy drop-off from 2014. Of course important Senate election 2014 so turnout would be slightly higher then.

Seems favorable from what I can see...

Sounds good. We need Blum to pull out a win.

I believe Blum will retain CD1, but that Dem Loebsack will retain CD 2.

Peters upsetting Loebsack, or even coming hair close, would be an indicator of GOP wave.

RCP has IA-1 as Lean D. We need to win a few of those types of seats to ensure we keep the House.

It’s Dem leaning district, that’s true. But incumbents are likely to win any reelection absent something compelling.

I’ve done GOP research for these CDs in the past but not this time, so I may be too jaded.
