This poll from last week gives me a little hope.

Am still very concerned about people getting out to vote and/or having their vote actually get counted though.

Q2 If the election for US Senate were held today, and the candidates were Democrat Theresa Greenfield and Republican Joni Ernst, who would you vote for?

48 % ..............Theresa Greenfield
45 % ..............Joni Ernst
8 % ................Not sure

Is Trump is handling Covid19 appropriately?

So that means you are OK with over 175,000 dead ...how many deaths until you think he is doing a bad job
200,000?
300,000?
500,000?
A million?

How many Iowans would need to die before you took a stand?


Second question -- When DeVos gutted the Title 9 requirements on sexual assaults on college campuses, what did you do? You have been campaigning on how you protect women. Did you do anything about this? What about the Violence against Women Law?

Final question -- You ran on being a veteran 6 years ago. What have YOU done about the Russian bounties paid by Putin to the Taliban for killing American soldiers?

all the Storm Damage along hwy 20 and 30. That is a game changer for Iowa. Sounds like neither Senator or the Gov moved in a timely manner as to disaster recognition.

Greenfield has done a couple of Pressers on this subject since she was directly affected. The Rethugs are just thumb sucking.
