The Iowa Senate race remains dead even.
Iowa continues to be a Toss-Up in the Rasmussen Reports 2014 Senate Balance of Power rankings as it has been since June. At stake is the seat held by retiring Democratic Senator Tom Harkin, and Republicans view a win in the state as critical to their hopes of taking control of the Senate.

I didn’t know Iowa is a commie state. Is Rasmussen factoring in the illegals and other Dem vote fraudsters?
I really don’t understand what’s wrong with states like Iowa and NC. Both of those senate races should be easy GOP wins.
Iowa is the Vermont of the Midwest.
Maybe it's castration anxiety.
Yesterday Joni was up 6????
This is pollsters cooking the numbers to cover the RAT fraud margin, ~5%.
Remember the Gop primary voting scams.
Joni is probably up 3-5 points if this has them tie. What was the partisan breakdown?
I think Tillas will still win.
Castrating a GOP congressman would be microsurgery.
It would take an electron microscope to find their balls.
My family is from Iowa. All my cousins are a bunch of Farm Socialists in the mold of Gus Hall...except possibly one cousin who owns a Painting business.
Here in Texas in the deepest and richest farmland farmers vote for RATS because they deliver a population supplied with food stamps to increase farm sales. Otherwise completely conservative people.
Iowa holds the ethanol test over every R presidential candidate. They make R candidates dance, shuck and jive, then probably vote RAT behind the curtain. Take them out of the damn opening season, along with New Hampshire.
Dems have outspent Joni by 2 to 1. Send her a donation since the GOPE considers her Tea Party and they don’t give rats ass if a Tea Party person wins or loses.
Is the GOPE interested in winning back the Senate? If they are why not back at least people like Joni with a realistic chance of winning?
It definitely tilts left - Obama carried it twice, it was one of the handful of states to go to Dukakis, and it has elected the ultra-liberal Harkin all of these decades...though at the same time it has also elected Grassley for a long time and Bush did manage to carry the state in 2004. The fact this is tied is actually a good sign.
Something all Freepers should keep in mind. Scott Rasmussen no longer heads the Rasmussen Polling group. There was some sort of disagreement and Scott R. either left on his own or was forced out quite a while back. Ever since then, the polling done by the Rusmussen group has bent liberal, and has been favoring Obama. I am on the Rasmussen email list, and due to laziness, am still on it, even though Scott R. is now gone. I can tell you that their polling now favors Obama by giving him consistently higher favorability ratings than most other polls. I don’t trust them anymore than I can throw them now. They’ve swung over to the dark side, so take this Iowa poll with a grain of salt.
It's because the GOP establishment elites attacks on the tea party have totally pissed off the grassroots base of the Republican party.
In my opinion, what may save some of these races will be Sarah Palin going in and rallying the tea party. Otherwise, forget it. The GOP is toast and deservedly so.
I think the Rasmussen outfit was sold to HUFF n PUFF Po...so that means the GOP has to be in front. They Rasmussen poll often has Obama doing much better in job approval than other more reliable polls

I’m waiting for a correction from Nate Silver, who is the ‘gold’ standard in polls/predictions.
His reduction from 65% to 55% chances of our retaking Senate was explained with ‘is it the money?’
Yeah, right, it was a call from Jarrett saying ‘nice little statistical outfit you have there, be a shame if something happened to it.’
I think Ernst has tea party support, so you theory wouldn’t apply in Iowa. NC, perhaps.
