Poll: 64% of Iowans think it's time for Chuck Grassley to retire

The big picture: Only 27% of those surveyed said they would vote for Grassley, per the Des Moines Register.

• Of the 27% who would re-elect him, 51% were Republican, 7% were Democrat and 23% were independents.
• 37% of Republicans polled said they were ready for someone else to take up the seat, while 89% of Democrats and 68% of Independents said the same, reports the Des Moines Register.
• Seven out of 10 female voters surveyed said they would like to see Grassley replaced, notes Politico.

What they're saying: "Chuck Grassley has had a long and mostly good run, but most Iowa voters appear ready to move on, and his ratings reflect waning interest,” pollster J. Ann Selzer, president of Selzer & Co., the company that conducted the poll, told the Des Moines Register.
