Hello,

Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight calls Ann Selzer “the best pollster in politics.” Why? She knows Iowa better than anyone, overseeing almost every one of the Des Moines Register’s Iowa polls since 1987 – and she has a track record of nearly always being right.

That’s why this is such incredible news for Democrats: A brand-new poll by Ann Selzer shows Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley below 50% for the first time since 1980!

Admiral Mike Franken is the Democratic nominee running against Chuck Grassley to turn Iowa’s Senate seat blue, and if Mike wins, Democrats are virtually guaranteed to hold onto (or even expand!) our Senate majority this year.

But Mike needs your help. Right now, we’re still 432 donations short of our daily goal and what we need to help Mike Franken defeat Chuck Grassley and protect our Senate majority.

Mitch McConnell and his Super PACs are already raising millions to try to defeat Mike and turn the Senate red. But Mike Franken’s not taking money from corporate PACs so if he’s going to win, he needs grassroots donors like you to chip in now:

No amount is too small. Please, will you give $5 or more right now – whatever amount you can afford before midnight tonight – to help Admiral Mike Franken defeat Chuck Grassley, turn Iowa blue, and protect our Democratic majority in the Senate?

Chuck Grassley is vulnerable this November. Ann Selzer confirms it. And with your help now, we know we can do it.

Thank you so much,

Team Franken
