Election Polls 2006: Iowa Governor
Secretary of State Chet Culver (D) continues to edge out Congressman Jim Nussle (R) in Iowa’s race for Governor. In the previous Rasmussen Reports election poll, Culver was six percentage points ahead. Now, as the nominee, Culver leads Nussle by just three points, 41% to 38%.

Their match-ups have been close all year. But except in January—when they each drew 40% support—Culver has always managed to scratch out at least a one-point lead.
