Culver Sinking Fast in Iowa

[ccharles000]

Iowa Gov. Chet Culver's (D) job approval "has fallen to a critical new low, and former Gov. Terry Branstad (R) poses a major potential threat to Culver's re-election," according to a new Iowa Poll.

Just 40% of Iowans say they approve of the job the first-term Democrat is doing -- a 10 point drop since mid-September -- and only 34% of Iowans think the state is headed in the right direction.

In matchups posed to likely voters, Branstad crushes Culver by 24 points, 57% to 33%. Culver also trails businessman Bob Vander Plaats, a fiscal and social conservative who remains little-known to most Iowans.

5. Well just goes to show the stupidity

of Americans. They put up with 8 years of absolute greed, lies and wars from the republican administration and are now blaming the democratic governor for bush's pillage. By the way did you all know Palin was born in Iowa. You betcha. Isn't it odd I never knew you betcha was an Alaskan phrase. That's what all the old timers around here in Minnesota say. I thought it was midwest.
