"SNIP.....

Sen. Joni Ernst’s poll numbers have sunk after she voted against convicting President Donald Trump following his impeachment trial.

“According to a new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll, Ernst’s approval rating has slipped from a high point of 57% in February 2019 to 47% today,” the newspaper reported Saturday.

Ernst is facing her first reelection as a senator in 2020 and her seat is widely considered one of the most likely to flip.

“The poll of 800 Iowa adults, which includes 667 likely voters, was conducted by Selzer & Co., March 2-5. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for Iowa adults and plus or minus 3.8 percentage points for likely voters,” the newspaper reported. “Iowans have been polled 10 times since February 2015 about whether they approve or disapprove of the way Joni Ernst has handled her job as U.S. senator.”

2. Her poll numbers should be at 10%!

Joni Ernst is an idiot. She is a vapid know nothing. The sooner she is voted out of office the faster the good people of Iowa will have a chance at reclaiming a little dignity.

5. She really is.

The perfect description. My wife is from Iowa so we know a little. She's the perfect senator for trump's reign. The less you know, the fewer questions you ask, the more value you have.

6. Sums it up beautifully

Losing disgusted Braley so much he left the area (his sister in law was my daughter's teacher).

I appreciated how he had budgeting exercises where we considered spending priorities. This was before things got so awful.

Ernst doesn't have an independent bone in her body. It is wrong to make fun of her castrating comments though. Agriculture is very important in this state, and farmers need to be shown respect.

Of course everything Braley said about Grassley heading the Judiciary committee has come to pass. Not sure we can get through the voters here in Iowa. What amazes me is that they are educated individuals, many with Masters degrees. I just don't understand it. I don't think they are racist - we work with individuals from all over the world. I guess it is mostly guns and the fact that Republicans make sure the farm bucks always keep on flowing (working in that industry including supplying equipment is a lot like working in the defense industry).
