Hubbell pulling away?

From the May 8 iowastartinglne.com

Des Moines businessman Fred Hubbell holds a substantial lead over the rest of the Democratic gubernatorial field, according to a new poll released this morning. A Remington Research Group poll commissioned by KBUR Radio of Burlington showed Hubbell at 46%, well above the needed 35% threshold to avoid a primary. Senator Nate Boulton comes in second at 20%. No other candidate breaks 10%.

Here’s the full candidate breakdown:

Fred Hubbell: 46%
Nate Boulton: 20%
Cathy Glasson: 7%
John Norris: 5%
Andy McGuire: 3%
Ross Wilburn: 1%
Undecided: 18%

The poll found that Hubbell’s strongest support was among Iowans over the age of 50, while Boulton led with voters in the 30 to 39 age range.

Hubbell’s strong lead may surprise many activists who have been closely following the race, but it might not be far from the truth given the disparity in ad spending. As we wrote earlier last month, Hubbell has outspent Boulton on TV by a five-to-one margin. No other candidate has come close on TV, and Cathy Glasson has been off of TV since the end of March. Hubbell is also the only candidate on the air in the Sioux City and Quad Cities market.

I am surprised, but as I have said I care not who it is as long as they can beat that pathetic Reynolds
