Alexandria, VA --Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole holds a firm lead over other potential Republican presidential candidates one year out from the February 1996 Iowa Caucuses. That according to an independent survey conducted by PSI of Alexandria, Virginia, that was released tonight by Capital Communications Company on television stations WOI, Des Moines, Iowa, KCAU, Sioux City, Iowa and WHBF in Davenport, Iowa.

The results of the survey are the first stage of “The Iowa Project -1996”, conducted by PSI, which will survey likely caucus attendees periodically up to the February, 1996 presidential caucuses. This evening’s release is the first in that series.
