Iowa is where it all started for President Obama. It's where he won twice in a general election. But he's no longer Mr. Popular there.
Obama's average approval rating in Iowa was 38 percent during the first half of the year, according to new data from Gallup, five percentage points below his national average. Since notching a second straight win there in 2012, Obama's numbers have gone steadily downhill, as the following Gallup chart shows...
What's also notable is that throughout his first term, Obama's numbers in Iowa were mostly stronger than they were nationwide. That hasn't been the case in his second term...
So, what does this all mean in 2014? It's bad news for Rep. Bruce Braley, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Iowa. Braley is in a close race against Republican Joni Ernst. The contest is shaping up as a key piece in the battle for the Senate majority.
While the president's approval rating is hardly the only determining factor in a statewide contest, it can be a significant one. And in Iowa, Obama has gone from Democratic asset to albatross.

I bet the silo-headed iowa LIBs will vote for their next lefty savior...be it hitlery klintoon or fauz pocahantas.
stupid people ..... they greatly assisted the rest of the dullards in this nation in foisting this man upon us all , for 2 terms . I advise they stand before a mirror and slap themselves silly . If not , let someone else do it for them .
Why should it matter what morons in Iowa think?
The poor guy will never get elected again.
Of course, your sister, California, is still standing by the godless Sodomite, even while he bankrupts the house and invites trespassers to crash in the living room, so I give you some credit for learning. A slow learner, yes, but at least you learned something.
Ethanol scam is not going so well, eh?
The bloom is off the rose. The narcissist has been exposed. The only one who doesn’t see it is him. Even liberals see it, they just won’t admit it.
Yup.
First black president. Check.
First woman president. Check.
Well not yet but you can count on lefties voting for Hillary, not because she is capable but because she is a woman.
Cool. So that is how they remove an appendix. :)
Polls, love affairs and the rest of that crap doesn’t mean anything to Barry anymore. They are a waste of time. Barry and his family are set for life to live off of the taxpayer’s buck. Barry doesn’t wear that big smirk for nothing.
Once something is made into law, it is never rescinded even if it doesn't even come close to fulfilling the promises made when it was being proposed, voted on and passed.
Example: gun laws. That is why we should never give an inch.
Iowa- the state of ‘plum dumb’!!!
Not certain if he doesn’t give a damn or doesn’t have a clue. When he give a speech these days, he looks lost and ambivalent at the same time.
As if he is just riding his time out.
Far as I can tell that is what wins elections in Iowa.
Ludicrous agricultural subsidy schemes.
His “approval rating” may be 38, but that’s about the IQ of those who voted for him and would vote for him again.
Iowans have learned nothing. They will nominate Hillary! or Fauxcahontas on the next Democrat go around. They will nominate Romney or some other RINO on the other side.
Gotta keep those socialist farm subsidies rollin' in, don't ya' know..
Oh ya!
The whole state is agricultural and I am betting that a large percentage of it is for corn. Not as food but for ethanol.
And many farmers proudly post signs stating that their corn will be used to produce ethanol. I have driven through the state a few times.
Racist crackers!
