    The Iowa Republican poll

    Poll confirms Vander Plaats is GOP front-runner (updated)

    The Iowa Republican blog continues to release results from the poll it commissioned on the 2010 governor's race. Last week we learned about Governor Chet Culver's approval, favorability and re-elect numbers. This week we've seen some numbers about same-sex marriage and a hypothetical rerun of the 2006 race. I'll have more to say about the wording of this poll's questions in a future post. (Todd Dorman identified a glaring problem with the marriage question here.)

    In today's installment, Craig Robinson highlights results from a straightforward question:

    Question: If the Republican primary for Governor was held today, who would you vote for between Chris Rants, Bob Vander Plaats, Paul McKinley, Rod Roberts, Jerry Behn, and Christian Fong?

       Republican Primary Voters

       Bob Vander Plaats: 46%
       Don't Know: 27%
       Chris Rants: 14%
       Neither/Other: 5%
       Paul McKinley: 3%
       Christian Fong: 3%
       Rod Roberts: 1%
       Refused: 1%
       Jerry Behn: 0.2%

       (Republican Primary Voters N=394 - Margin of Error ±5.0%)

    Join me after the jump for some early thoughts about Bob Vander Plaats' front-runner status.
