Do you think things in the state are headed in the right direction, or have they gotten off on the wrong track?
Now, I'd like to mention the names of some people in the news - both in Iowa and nationally. For each name I read, please tell me if your feelings toward the person are very favorable, mostly favorable, mostly unfavorable, or very unfavorable. Congressman and candidate for governor Jim Nussle. Iowa secretary of state and candidate for governor Chet Culver.
If the election for Iowa governor were held today, and the candidates were Jim Nussle for the Republicans and Chet Culver for the Democrats, for whom would you vote?
