*Iowa Poll*: Theresa Greenfield leads Joni Ernst in tight race for U.S. Senate
Published 6:00 p.m. CT June 13, 2020
New poll just released by Des Moines Register.
Incumbent Republican Senator Joni Ernst is 3 points behind her Democratic challenger, Theresa Greenfield.
Theresa Greenfield (D) 46%
Joni Ernst (R) 43%
---
“This is definitely a competitive race,” said J. Ann Selzer, president of Selzer & Co., which conducted the poll. She said the poll contains other “warning signs” for Ernst and noted that this is the first Iowa Poll conducted since Ernst first ran in 2014 in which she has trailed her general election opponent.
“Symbolically, that's certainly meaningful, even if Theresa Greenfield's lead is not commanding,” Selzer said.
The poll, which was conducted June 7-10, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points for questions asked of the 674 likely voters in the 2020 general election and plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for those asked of 801 Iowans.

The fact that the Dems are leading in the Iowa Senate race is a good sign for Joe Biden.
Part 2 of the Des Moines Register poll will be released over the next few days, and it will contain the Biden vs. Trump numbers.

If Biden is within a couple points of Trump in Iowa, then Republicans are in deep doo-doo. It would mean that Ohio is also a toss-up.

Part 2 of the Des Moines Register poll is expected to be released in the next few days and it will have the Biden vs Trump numbers for Iowa.
And yes, given the good Dem numbers in the Senate race, there's a strong chance that the poll will also show good Iowa numbers for Biden.

Ohio is always a tossup and Biden is currently winning there, as usual.
What wasn’t expected is that Ernst’s seat would be added to the tossup list of endangered Republicans in the Senate.

Yes, this is now the 3rd poll showing Ernst trailing in Iowa, but this one is the most important so far, being the gold-standard Selzer Poll.

Things right now look very promising for the Dems, we just have to hope the polls still look like this come November.
