Grassley leads in Iowa Poll by 8 points, lowest margin in decades [View all]
U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley has an 8-point lead on his Democratic opponent, retired Navy Adm. Michael Franken, in the latest Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll.
The poll, conducted July 10-13 by Selzer & Co., found 47% of likely Iowa voters would vote for the longtime Republican senator if the election was held the day they were asked, while 39% said they would vote for Franken.
The last time Grassley, 88, won an election by just 8 percentage points was his first election to the U.S. Senate in 1980, when he defeated incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. John Culver. In the elections since, Democratic challengers have not garnered 40% of the vote against Grassley.
