NV Sen Poll: Reid's Numbers Tank |
2010-01-13 |
![]() Reid can muster just 36% against either candidate and now trails Sue Lowden by 12 points and Danny Tarkanian by 14: Lowden (R) 48 (-1 vs. last poll December 9) Reid (D) 36 (-7) Tarkanian (R) 50 (+1) Reid (D) 36 (-7) Equally as bad for Reid: 47% of Nevada voters now have a "very unfavorable" opinion of him, while less than half that number (23%) view him "very favorably." Forty-five percent "strongly oppose" the health care reform Reid is currently shepharding through the Senate, while another 9% "somewhat oppose" it. Twenty-one percent "strongly favor" the bill and 18% "somewhat favor" it. The poll was conducted on Monday, January 11 - just days after news reports broke about Reid's controversial comments regarding President Obama. It's unclear what effect those statements might have had on his numbers, but 55% of those surveyed said they had been following the story "very closely" with another 24% saying they were following the story "somewhat closely." Lastly, President Obama's job approval in Nevada is at 49%. Of the 51% who disapprove of the job Obama is doing, 41% say they "strongly disapprove." |

#2 Yes, leave him alone and permit him to rant on. Reid's "light skin" and Anglo dialect may not be his only detracting factors come election day. |

#1 Like I said leave him be. He will go out the door and as a bonus he will drag his son down with him. |
