Influential Iowa Republicans are supremely confident of their ability to win two of Iowa's four congressional seats in November's election, but they express far less certainty about the remaining races, including Lange-Braley.Of the 33 people surveyed in Patch.com's Red Iowa survey, only 32 percent either strongly agreed or somewhat agreed that they are confident of a Lange victory. The remainder were either neutral or disagreed.[...]The 33 Republicans responding to this Red Iowa survey are a mix of current and former office holders, party leaders, candidates and activists. The survey was inspired by academic research showing that endorsements by party "actors" at all levels ? officeholders, party officials and local activists ? are a critical leading indicator of primary presidential elections.[...]Participants in Red Iowa and Blue Iowa are noted, but their answers are kept confidential.
