What an elitist idiot.
Republicans will play this thing 24/7 until the election.
Another competetive race, because Braley's favorables will drop and the eventual Republican candidate will become better known over the next months.
The Republican outside-groups will do the rest to make it competetive.
You guys are delusional if you think this comment will make the race competitive. It's March and no one is paying attention. As someone said, there are more lawyers than farmers in Iowa and every urban dweller secretly likes these comments because it sticks it to the rurals.
Let's hope then that I won't have to bring up your quote again in Aug./Sep./Oct. ... 
The next polls will show what impact it had. But I stick with it: This race could become highly competetive over the summer.
Sry, but I have to bring it up much earlier than I thought:
IA is now projected to be an R pickup:

One is from an R-biased firm, another is from a completely unreputable R firm that I wouldn't be surprised if it was cooking numbers, and the third's sample is too conservative.
Could we ask Leip to take the Loras and Vox Populi polls out of the algorithm?
Whoa there. I don't believe that Ernst is leading by the margins that Loras and Vox Populi are indicating, but polling is not a concrete science, and odds are that we will soon see more reliable pollsters come in and give us a clearer picture of the Senate race in Iowa. It seems rash to take polls out of algorithms with such fervor.

The whole system is going to go downhill if we start picking and choosing which polls should be entered based on whether we like the results they give. Personally I like everything being displayed for informational purposes, even though it sometimes leads to false perceptions (Louisiana Senate).
