Most Iowans Want Vilsack for Senate

A new Des Moines Register poll in Iowa finds a majority of voters think U.S. secretary of agriculture Tom Vilsack (D) would be an appealing Senate candidate, 56% to 35%.

He’s also the most favored candidate of the pack mulling a run for the seat being vacated by Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA).

Said pollster Ann Selzer: “This is the kind of poll finding that launches campaigns.”
