Ernst Takes 7-Point Lead Over Braley in Iowa

Yes, it's looking like a Republican Senate.

Joni Ernst has charged to achieve a 7-point lead over Democrat Bruce Braley in a new Iowa Poll, which buoys the GOP's hope that an Iowa victory will be the tipping point to a Republican takeover of the U.S. Senate.

Ernst, a state senator and military leader, enjoys 51 percent support among likely voters. That's a majority, and it's her biggest lead in the three Iowa Polls conducted this fall. Braley, a congressman and trial lawyer, gets 44 percent, according to The Des Moines Register's final Iowa Poll before Tuesday's election.

Her campaign signs around here say something along the lines of: "Braley--for Big Government Control/Spending Ernst--for Personal Freedoms"

Braley's ads attack her for wanting to end antepartum infanticide and to eliminate the minimum wage.

Braley also has adds stating he wants "millionaires" to pay Social Security tax on their entire income "just like everyone else"...

Most of the Braley attack adds against Ernst bring up the "millionaire oil companies", and I'm pretty sure the name Koch is mentioned, as well.
