Democrats Hubbell, Boulton take early lead in Iowa's race for governor

DES MOINES — It was a good week for Fred Hubbell and Nate Boulton.

They are the early front-runners among seven Democrats seeking to become their party’s nominee in the Iowa gubernatorial election next year, according to a liberal website’s poll and Des Moines Register analysis, both published last week.

Hubbell, a retired Des Moines businessman, and Boulton, a state legislator from Des Moines, were the top choices in a poll published by Iowa Starting Line, a website that covers state politics and is published by Pat Rynard, a former Democratic campaign staffer.

In the poll, 22 percent of likely Democratic primary voters said they plan to vote for Hubbell in the June 5 primary election; 13 percent said they will vote for Boulton.
