New poll in Nevada by Vitale & Associates (July 29-30, 510 LV, MoE +/-4.4%) shows incumbent Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid losing by six points to Sue Lowden, chairwoman of the Nevada Republican Party, 44-38, with 10% undecided.From the Las Vegas Review-Journal write up:
Pollster Todd Vitale said the most telling numbers might be the ones related to Reid.
In three Reid-related categories -- image, approval and whether they would vote to re-elect -- respondents gave the senator a thumbs down. Just 39 percent viewed Reid favorably, and 34 percent said they would vote to re-elect him.
"All of those are very, very telling pieces of information," said Vitale, who has been a pollster for 15 years. "I've never seen an incumbent with numbers this bad who hadn't had some scandal."
A 2010 Sweep is looming more likely by the week.
If only someone decent could be found to challenge Nancy Pelosi so far just Cindy Sheehan is on the ballot.
ReplyDeleteMan, this would be a dream come through, a la Daschle...I will never forget what he said at the height of the Iraq war.
ReplyDeleteThe RJ also picked McCain by 5 points....he lost NV by 12. A questionable poll by a right leaning paper has a 20+ year liberal senator trailing his nonexistent opponent. What a surprise. If Reid is such a pushover, why don't we have a republican candidate stepping up? When did Murdoch buy the RJ?
