Iowa Republicans are wowed by Paul Ryan, a new Des Moines Register Iowa Poll shows.
Mitt Romneys 2012 running mate is wildly popular here with a 73 percent favorability rating, a surprise finding that reveals hes at the forefront of potential 2016 GOP presidential candidates in the nations kickoff voting state.
