Nice.

I knew this would become competetive and now it seems all the Rust Belt voters have a guilty conscience about electing Trump and swing heavily Dem (except OH-Gov., which remains uncertain).

Based off Iowa’s swingy history, it shouldn’t have been counted out in the first place.

BUT MUH 2016 VOTING PATTERNS ARE SET IN STONE FOREVER!!!!11!!1!!!

This might be a Tilt D race, tbh. Lol at the people who thought Iowa is unwinnable for Democrats after 2016.

The incumbent usually has an advantage, but it does not show in the poll. She needs at least 45% approval at this stage of the electoral season to not be in deep trouble, and she does need a lead. She has neither. This gubernatorial race leans D. There is not enough time to both change the fundamentals and make a strong campaign for re-election.

This is a Tilts D race, and if you look at the special elections in Iowa, you shouldn't be surprised by this kind of result

Toss-up. Reynolds at 41% isn't so well and Trump's dumb trade war may swing Iowa heavily towards the Democrats. Both closer to 40 rather than 50% isn't that meaningful, though. But I give Hubbell a 55% chance to win at this point.

Trump can't win without Iowa😁. He needs Reynolds and Walker to get reelected

LOL... state elections = / = federal elections. Especially with two years in between.

BIDEN won Iowa along with Obama in 2012 and BIDEN is leaning towards running. Trump said he needs Walker reelected numerous times

If Hubbell, Finkenauer, and Axne win, and the Dems make substantial gains in the state legislature (and possibly even flip a chamber), then Ernst might be in some trouble in 2020.

This election strikes me as potentially sneaky important because Grassley is 85 years old.

Grassley is done due to his role in Kavanaugh and Christie Vilsack can challenge Ernst now, since Iowa is beginning to turn on Grassley due to Ford allegations. Can't wait til Christie Vilsack challenges Ernst😁

Ernst is a yes vote for Kavanaugh.

That’s because IA is more of a  democratic state than OH

If Reynolds, Blum and Young all lose, that’s terrible news for Joni Ernst and Trump's chances in IA in 2020.

Maybe, but Democrats for example got blown out in Tennessee in 94 and Clinton still carried the state two years later. A lot can happen.

Maybe, but Democrats for example got blown out in Tennessee in 94 and Clinton still carried the state comfortably two years later. A lot can happen.

And Democrats lost the Illinois gubernatorial race, Senate race, and 4 House seats in 2010, and it didn't mean a damn thing for 2012.

BIDEN is considered the front riunner for Dem nod and Obama and BIDEN both won Iowa in 2012😁 Joni Ernst is vulnerable if Dems get Christie Vilsack to run😁

Bloomberg said he would run third party if Sanders win nomination. Dems are gonna nominate BIDEN, Booker or Gillibrand

At the very least, we can all agree that such a result should make Joni Ernst nervous.

If anything, a run by Bloomberg as a 3rd option should pull away more moderate voters who held their nose last year for Trump, not the voters from the Democrats.

Sort of like a 1992 situation.

Christie Vilsack should consider this race not Tom Vilsack. Voters didn't vote for a rubber stamp for Trump and Ernst hasn't been moderate on anything

Yes, in the sense that it means Iowa isn't the new Wyoming that is unwinnable for Dems even in waves, but very few if any people have been arguing that. It's just a strawman. Just because Dems can win Iowa in a wave like 2018 is shaping up to be doesn't mean it isn't trending heavily R and that Republicans are more likely than not to win it in a more neutral environment. Illinois didn't become a red state or a swing state just because Republicans dominated there in a wave.

Bloomberg would appeal to approximately 5 Trump voters. If anything he'd be an outlet for Romney-Clinton voters who the Democrats very well may end up needing.

The idea that Romney-Clinton voters exist in large quantities is rather unfounded.


As you can see, only 8 seats are actually Romney-Clinton seats, compared to the 11 Obama-Trump seats. Their location is also important. All of the Obama-Trump areas are in the midwest and North East, areas the Dems need to win the presidency. The Romney-Clinton seats, however, are in rather unimportant areas, where them going for a 3rd party wont make a real difference.

Also, the way to win the EC in 2020 is through 3 states, MI, WI, and PA. Trump was able to win MI and WI on the backs of suburbanites who didnt really like him, and rural Rs who loved him. If Wakasuha county were to have a significant amount of votes go to Bloomberg, then Trump loses the state. Same with MI. PA is a bit more complicated, and as the suburbs there are more D friendly. But, if say the Democrat is a person who wins back Obama-Trump voters while losing Romney-Clinton voters, then the state is D once again.

Also, if you think that only white hicks voted for Trump and not, as data shows, a large amount of upscale suburbanites who didnt like Trump, and were open to a third option(like a rich guy former R who argued for good old Republican policies), then you may be in for a surprise.
