Original publisher not identified
This article credits another publisher, which ChamberLight has not identified, so the scores are 100 Percent Fed Up's own.
A Quantus Insights poll puts Republican Ashley Hinson narrowly ahead of Democrat Joshua Turek in Iowa’s open Senate race, though the lead is within the poll’s margin of error. The article says the contest remains competitive and discusses each campaign’s path to Election Day.
Quantus Insights found Hinson leading Turek 47.1% to 45.8% in its initial ballot test, with Libertarian Thomas Laehn at 1.7% and 5.4% undecided. The article reports that Hinson led in all three ballot tests, but none showed a statistically clear leader; her initial 1.3-point advantage was within the reported margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 points. The survey interviewed 738 people and used 714 likely voters for its ballot analysis.
