Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kaufmann released the following statement in response to the new Iowa Poll: 

"As we have seen two election cycles so far, the Iowa Poll historically underestimates the new Republican coalition's strength. They had Gov. Reynolds losing, Sen. Ernst losing, and President Trump tied, and all went on to win!

"Iowans are tired of Joe Biden's weak presidency. Democrats have destroyed our economy, energy independence, and Southern Border. Not only will Mike Franken stand by Biden's side, Franken is a scandal-ridden candidate having been accused of sexually assaulting his former campaign manager and more women. Franken hasn't done a thing to earn Iowans' votes."
