New poll shows anti-immigration firebrand Steve King up by just one point

A new poll released Tuesday shows anti-immigration firebrand Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) with just a 1-point lead over his Democratic challenger J.D. Scholten in the hotly-contested race for Iowa's 4th Congressional District.

Forty-five percent of respondents in the online poll said they would either vote for the Iowa Republican if the election were today, or have already voted for him early, according to the poll conducted by left-leaning polling firm Change Research from Oct. 27-29 with a margin of error of 4 percentage points.

Forty-four percent of respondents said the same for Scholten.

The Cook Political Report also moved the race for Iowa's 4th district from "Likely Republican" to "Leaning Republican," indicating the nonpartisan handicapper believes the race is tightening.

King has become the face of Iowa. If for no other reason I hope Scholten wins so the link between Iowa and King can be put to rest

House GOP campaign head calls out Steve King for 'completely inappropriate' actions

Stivers, who chairs the National Republican Congressional Committee, or NRCC, is the highest-ranking GOP House member to publicly call out King. King's Democratic opponent, J.D. Scholten of Sioux City, commended Stivers.

"Last week I issued a challenge for at least one Republican elected official to condemn @SteveKingIA's recent behavior," Scholten tweeted. "I applaud @RepSteveStivers, Chair of the NRCC. Respect



And the Sioux City Journal endorsed Scholten!
