Monmouth has a new poll of all the Iowa House races released today. We were correct to concentrate on Rita Hart. She is 3 behind, based, I surmise, on inferior name recognition compared to her opponent, who has lost the last three elections for this seat (but to Dave Loebsack, who is retiring).

Notwithstanding their frequent requests for money, Democratic incumbents Abby Finkenauer and Cindy Axne are comfortably ahead.

With vicious bigot Steve King denied renomination in the Republican primary, the fourth Iowa CD is no longer competitive. Garden-variety Republican Randy Feenstra is almost 20 ahead.
