Des Moines - With just one day until Election Day, all signs are pointing to clear movement in Bruce's direction - and the campaign's superior ground game and army of grassroots volunteers continues to surpass expectations, expand the electorate, and turn out sporadic voters that Democrats know will push Bruce to victory. 

On Saturday and Sunday alone, volunteers for Bruce and Iowa Democrats knocked over 350,000 doors and made over 450,000 phone calls.  Democrats had nearly 5,000 Iowans knocking doors this weekend, and the state party expects to see that number grow today and tomorrow. 

"Our volunteers and supporters had an unprecedented weekend of voter contact and this grassroots energy and enthusiasm will send Bruce to victory tomorrow night," said Sam Lau, Braley for Iowa spokesman. "This unprecedented field effort has already pushed us ahead among early voters, and we are confident that our momentum and support will expand the electorate and deliver a strong victory for Bruce on Tuesday night."

The campaign's modeling of the electorate shows that Bruce is headed to victory on the strength of his clear and significant lead among early voters, his strong and consistent lead among independent voters, and the superior Democratic ground efforts that will drive far greater numbers of supporters to the polls.

In the final weeks of this campaign, Iowans have focused on Bruce's clear message about fighting for all Iowa families, not just the wealthiest few ?while they've seen Joni Ernst dodge editorial board meetings and desperately try to avoid talking about the issues that Iowans care about most, like her plans to privatize Social Security, give tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas, and push for federal legislation banning all abortions and common forms of birth control.

Democrats know that the more doors they knock on, the more voters they can put out in the final days, and the stronger Bruce's returns will be on Tuesday night. The Iowa Democratic Party's dedicated resources to a substantial field operation has already successfully expanded the electorate and will significantly outperform any Republican efforts to get out their voters in the final days.
