Good News from Iowa!
DesMoinesRegister.com | News: "Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean narrowly leads U.S. Rep. Dick Gephardt as the Democratic presidential frontrunner in a new Des Moines Register poll of Iowans likely to participate in the Democratic caucuses."

This is the first Des Moines Register poll of the year, so there's no way to look at trend data, but it looks pretty good for Governor Dean. The raw results are

Dean23%
Gephardt21%
Undecided20%
Kerry14%
Lieberman10%
No one else is over 5%.

There are still a lot of undecideds, but:

The image of Dean heading into what looks like it's going to be a very close race in New Hampshire on the strength of a first-place finish in the Iowa caucuses must be very disturbing to the Kerry camp.
