Assange Could Win Australian Senate Seat, Poll Shows

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange stands a good chance of winning his bid for an Australian Senate seat this September, according to a new poll released Wednesday.

The poll, which asked Australian voters online “How likely would you be to vote for [Assange] and the WikiLeaks Party?” showed that 26 per cent of respondents considered themselves likely to vote the WikiLeaks Party into office.

The same went for 23 per cent of voters in Victoria, where Assange will run.
