Mowrer/Young in a statistical tie for IA district 3.

ICYMI: NEW POLL: Combat Veteran Jim Mowrer and Congressman Young in Statistical Dead Heat

Three weeks from Election Day, combat veteran Jim Mowrer and Congressman David Young are in a statistical dead heat in the race for Iowa’s 3rd District, according to a new poll released today.

Mowrer currently sits just three points behind Young at 46 to 49 percent, well within the margin of error. Congressman Young is also under 50 percent, a precarious place for a sitting Member of Congress a mere 3 weeks from Election Day.

After having two years and two campaigns to make his case to Third District voters, David Young hasn’t broken through: only 41 percent of voters like him, and nearly as many (39 percent) don’t.

What’s more, Young’s longtime backing of alleged serial sexual predator Donald Trump is a huge problem: Trump is trailing Clinton by 11 points in a four-way trial heat for Congress, and 62% of Iowans rate him negatively.

In light of Trump’s toxicity in the district, it’s troubling for Young that 70% of those polled believe that he “will work with Donald Trump to help him pass his agenda,” up from 58% at the end of September.
