It’s an internal poll, but I’ve seen several House Dems in similar trouble, so this doesn’t strike me as unbelievable.

That’s a lot of undecideds. Still inconclusive, in my view.

Boswell has won his last few elections narrowly even in strong Democrat years. This year Chuck Grassley and Terry Branstad will both win by wide margins and will carry Brad Zaun along with them.

I'm embarrassed by our states liberal politics; I am hoping that will start changing this fall.
Zaun is just out of my district (my running route has his signs on it a few blocks from home!); I may volunteer for his campaign anyway.

I would put Harkin a few 100 places up on that list to get rid of!
Harkin is beatable, we just need the right candidate. I firmly believe Bill Salier could have beaten him.
The bigger problem is the mindless, uneducated liberal bots that support him here in our state.
They need to be re educated and perhaps put into intensive therapy.
Kind of like how I envision the North Korean populace to be.

And our Democratic Governor is doing a fine job of eliminating himself.

These polls are starting to make our “Experts” look bad. Our current ratings for this race are 4x Leans D, a Mod D and a Toss UP from RCP. We have to hope that the poll is real and the experts won’t sit on their hands before they issue some updates.

I hope so. Good signs are pointing all around and it's partly a matter of not losing momentum.

Still inconclusive, in my view. The undecideds need to break heavily to the incumbent in order for him to pull it out. I doubt that will happen in this atmosphere. Now, you might say this many undecideds makes it too unstable a poll, but any poll this far out is going to have this many undecideds.

What caused Culver to lose popularity in liberal IA?

It’s painful for an incumbent to poll barley above 30.
If 2006 and 2008 weren’t terrible years Boswell may have lost back then.

I think only once did Boswell ever break 60% in any of his elections, and that was in his pre-2002 configured district. For any significant portion of his voters to be undecided is incredibly bad for him.
To: InterceptPoint
Impy, among others who are highly knowledgeable, has written that the pollsters will have to get with the program eventually or else their reputations will be worth nothing. They don’t have to be right until election day.
I think there is a lot of denial and/or disparagement of the anger out there in the electorate. Conservatives don’t riot when they’re angry, they just seethe quietly and then vote.
I wish Barone would put out a list of projections.
