(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) — Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action, released the following statement on the new Public Policy Polling survey showing Christina Bohannan leading Rep. Miller-Meeks, 43 percent to 39 percent, in Iowa’s 1st Congressional District race:
“This is the most competitive race in the nation and the stakes couldn’t be higher. In 2024, Mariannette Miller-Meeks won by only 799 votes—the slimmest GOP margin in the entire country. Today, Rep. Miller-Meeks is the most vulnerable Republican in America and was the deciding vote in the House to advance the largest cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act in history. Her vote could strip health insurance from 21,000 Iowans in the 1st District.”
Key findings from the survey include:
- By a 43% to 39% margin, Chrisstina Bohannan leads Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks in a head to head matchup.
- 46% of voters found Rep. Miller-Meeks unfavorable
- Only 32% of voters approved of Rep. Miller-Meeks’ record, leaving a margin of 14 points in her approval rating.
