In what was clearly one of the most shocking polls to come out of Iowa this year, a New York Times/Siena College survey released over the weekend showed Democrat Cindy Axne leading Republican Rep. David Young by 43 to 41 percent in the Des Moines-based 3rd District.

“In what was clearly one of the most shockingly fake polls to come out of Iowa this year...”
When ever I get one of the telephone “polls” I just hang up.
Cindy AxMe has been running a lot of ads here. Lets hope Young pulls it out. He is not the best candidate we could have, but of course he would be way better than AxMe.
Newsmax leans to the left. Their stories are usually favorable to the RATS.
That and people still haven’t voted. This is their way of telling them which is the winning side so they can vote for them instead of properly.
Another fascinating thing about these polls is that they can’t possibly say that these numbers are any different than if they would have said something 6 month or a year ago. Returns are not what happened at that moment. They are what someone says happened. This is not people waiting outside the polling buildings getting people to say what they voted. No one know how people unless they ask them. So how do you get returns based upon mail ins?
Whether it is the winning side or not, many people either don’t vote or do vote based upon popularity. I live in Washington State, and according to the TV, all elections are decided before I used to vote after work in the evening. We do mail, only, now. The pollsters robbing the mail to get the info?

Who is the Republican candidate in Iowa CD-3?
Look, my IQ is high enough that I can reason abstractly, so I understand the “vote for any Republican” argument.
But you Republicans DO NOT UNDERSTAND that the only thing normal people hate worse than Democrats is Republicans.
And, if you are active here, you know perfectly well that, when we don’t have a critical election in 4 days, most of us are aware that the AVERAGE GOP Member of Congress is a low-appeal, scummy, swamp dweller who we would be happy to see tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail.
Remember - the GOP ran SEVENTEEN candidates against Trump. The GOP in Congress has been blocking the wall, has threatened Trump with removal if he fires Mueller, and in general (McConnell and judges being a big exception) is an anti-MAGA, globalist, pro-bank and pro-big business party.
So, given an electorate with an average IQ of 95, and given the profile of the normative GOP House candidate (local businessman or shyster lawyer), and given the effort that the RATs have put into candidate selection, I won’t be surprised to see D+40 for the House Tuesday night.
As I said in January 2017, and repeatedly since, Trump had until mid-2017 to renounce or transform the GOP. I think, being a businessman, he looked at his victory like it was a hostile takeover, his opponents for the nomination like the Board, and the Members of Congress like management who, the day after the new CEO moves in report for duty and ask, “What are your orders, boss?”
Unfortunately, that’s not how it works. Any GOP candidate running next Tuesday who is not full-on MAGA is at risk of losing. And, sadly, there are lots of them.
Why of course the far far left will win a seat in Iowa who would think otherwise? All the “great” economic news? Just hot air, the heart of Iowa love communists who will make everybody equal.
And in that he is not alone.
D +40 House, GOP +4 Senate.
You read it here.
Blum is a Tea Party guy in a Dem-leaning disrict that likes RINOs. He’s likely to survive again.
2% is within the margin of error and what was the track record of the NY Times in 2016 for Iowa polls and polls in other States?
Btw this race has been listed as a Toss Up since August 8th by RCP. The Dems have to win half of those to get Nancy Pelosi elected Speaker. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2018/house/2018_elections_house_map_race_changes.html
Meh...
David Young had RINO written all over him when he first ran, but he’s proven far more conservative than should have been expected.
IA CD 3 was intended to be a toss-up district. Young, like all of Iowa’s incumbents,will survive.
Ridiculous to call it a shocker. The district was intended to be a tossup.
No. Ravi has not run this district but overall Ds are down 50% in their absentees from 2016. No way Young loses with that number.
I trust boots on the ground rather than out of state polls. Thank you.
Thanks! I appreciate this.
Yeah, Young is about as exciting as cold oatmeal, but he is wayyy better than that leftist woman. I will vote straight Republican on Tuesday. I hope Reynolds beats sleazy Hubble, too. All the Dems do is promise to spend more money.
Gerrymandering?
Boo yah!
“...and Trump will be impeached...”
My wife was over at the neighbor’s house. Another neighbor was over there - showing off his “poster”. An 8-1/2 by 11 sheet of paper with IMPEACH TRUMP! scrawled on it with a Sharpie.
“I’m puttin’ this in my front door. I still know guys in the Pentagon (he’s former FBI) - oh - it’s going to happen!”
He’s the type of guy that will spend 3 hours jawing with the suburban cops on how to catch the guy lighting dumpster fires, and then spend another 2 hours complaining at the city council that we don’t have enough cops.
So yes - a liberal nutcase. Oh - will also brag about his guns, and in the next sentence will say how “the government” (that evil Nazi Trump?!) should ban all guns. (I’m guessing that in his mind, former FBI guys would be exempt?)
I hear all this second-hand from my wife. Of course she just tries to ignore him.
