Nevada Senate Race Between Harry Reid And Sharron Angle Tightening (POLL)

A new poll released on Friday by the Las Vegas Review Journal shows Sen. Harry Reid and Sharron Angle in a tight battle for Reid's Senate seat.

The poll gives Reid, the Democratic incumbent and Senate Majority Leader, a razor-thin 46 percent to 44 percent lead over Angle, the hard-line conservative Republican nominee.

Neither candidate is looked upon particularly favorably by Nevada voters. Reid is viewed favorably by 40 percent of likely Nevada voters and unfavorably by 51 percent of them, whereas 37 percent have a favorable view of Angle and 45 percent have an unfavorable view.

While a slight -- 51 percent -- majority of voters said that Reid's influence in the Senate as Senate Majority Leader was not too valuable for Nevada to give up, the 45 percent who said it was too valuable to give up provide a strong base of support. Reid has held small leads on six straight publicly released polls, although almost all of these leads have been within the polls' margins of error.

The Mason-Dixon Polling and Research survey polled 625 likely voters in Nevada and has a 4 percent margin of error.

How's this possible that someone like Ms. "Anglophile" Angle is even considered a serious candidate for the U.S. Senate? Along with "Tony Soprano" Palladino for NY governor and "Wizard of Oz" Christina in Delaware, it's a national embarassment for Republicans.

I'm sure cooler heads will prevail and Reid will win comfortably come election day.

If Angle wins, then Nevada can join Texas and Alaska as the new "Axis of Evil".

If StarkRavingAngle wins can we trade Nevada to Russia for Cuba or something?

If StarkRavingAngle wins, can we just trade Nevada to Russia for Cuba or something?

The only thing that is tightening is Harry Reid's butt-hole. Dirty Harry knows that his days are limited and he is on the way out. This guy is nothing more than a white collar criminal who has made a living using tax payer dollars for his personal use. The same goes for Nancy Pelosi.

And yet he's ahead in every poll. But I forgot--you don't trust the lamestream media do you? Not even the viciously hard-right rag that is the Review-Journal.

Real Clear Politics: Reid 46.8; Angle 44.3, Reid + 2.5;

Not that the rest of us need this info, but I'm reposting since you don't seem to have actually read the article.

Seriously? I don't care who you have running against Angle...No Democrat should lose to this woman after the campaign she has run...or run from.

time to ditch Reid who undermines liberal interests at every turn in the road.

The 24 hour propaganda machine of the right tries to drown out the voice of reason.

Hate speech and intolerance is what they are selling.

How could 44% of ANY state want Angle? She shouldn't have more than 18 percent. She is SO far out on the fringe, even MOST pro-life people make the exception in the case of rape and incest, not her. Then she runs from reporters who might ask a non-scripted questions.

How dan people be so dumb??? What has the education system of this country delivered to its people, that they would look past how dangerous someone like Sharron Angle is and willing to offer up this nation to a bunch of freeks. Harry Reid is a weak leader, but he is an experienced politician who has done some really good stuff this year. Jefferson said that education was the great equalizer!!! where pray tell is the equality, if the people are so willingly duped into voting against their best interests to satisfy ego, or serve up the nation to corporate interests??
