New AFF Polls Show Iowans Reject Pelosi Agenda
Voter/Consumer Research Polls show Iowans disagree with Washington liberals’ views
DES MOINES – A new poll released today by American Future Fund shows a strong disconnect between Iowans and Nancy Pelosi’s liberal agenda.
The poll was conducted by Voter/Consumer Research August 31 through September 3, 2010 in Iowa’s First, Second, and Third Congressional Districts. Three hundred Iowans were polled per district and the results show low re-election numbers for incumbent Democratic Congressmen.
The standout issue for the majority of Iowa voters is jobs and the economy by an overwhelming margin. Fifty-percent or more of all poll takers in each Iowa’s First, Second and Third Districts marked jobs and economy their main concern.

Only 39 percent of voters in Iowa’s First District believe Rep. Bruce Braley should be re-elected as their congressman. Things aren’t much better for Rep. Leonard Boswell in the Iowa’s Third District either, as only 42 percent of voters believe he should retain his seat. Rep. Dave Loebsack in Iowa’s Second District has only 40 percent of voters backing him in his re-election bid.
AFF Spokesperson Nick Ryan stated, “Iowa’s Democratic congressman are so closely tied with Nancy Pelosi’s liberal agenda that they have become disconnected from Iowa values. Their constituents strongly disagreed with them on issues ranging from the outrageous government spending to health care.”
Iowans also vigorously disagreed with Pelosi over the issue of the Ground Zero mosque. Just over 20 percent of Iowans in the state’s First Congressional District agree with Braley and Pelosi on that issue.
Ryan continued, “Braley, Loebsack, and Boswell are clearly out-of-touch with Iowans, these poll results confirm it. These congressman care more about being Pelosi’s liberal ally than voting for what Iowans believe in.”
