Waterloo, Iowa – Today the Des Moines Register published the results of their Iowa Poll for the First Congressional District race. 

The poll shows Democrat Bruce Braley leading Republican CEO Mike Whalen by 7 points: 44 percent to 37 percent.

Furthermore, independent voters broke for Braley by a 10-point margin, 42 percent to 32 percent.

“Clearly, Iowans are ready for a new direction,” Braley said.  “Clearly the false, negative personal attacks launched by my opponent have had no effect on this race.  Eastern Iowans know that I will stand up in Congress to raise the minimum wage and protect Social Security from risky privatization schemes.  I will be a strong, independent voice to bring change to Washington.”
