Republican Joni Ernst poll numbers plunge after voting against Trump's impeachment

Published 2 hours ago on March 7, 2020

By Bob Brigham


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.”

The poll found only 41% of Iowa voters definitely planning to re-elect Ernst.

That is absolutely amazing that 41% think it is just fine to basically enable treason.............and she thinks it is just fine and dandy to have foreign powers inflict damage in elections.......................

She should be at 0%....................

when we can swear in Amy McGrath as Senator from Kentucky to replace the DEFEATED MoscowMitch McTurdle.

And, with luck, swear in Chuck Schumer as MAJORITY Leader of the Senate!
