Reid Takes Lead (44-37) on Angle

[joeybee12]

U.S. Sen. Harry Reid has opened a strong lead over Republican opponent Sharron Angle after pummeling her in a ubiquitous TV and radio ad campaign that portrays the Tea Party favorite as "too extreme," according to a new poll for the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The Democratic incumbent's aggressive strategy of attacking Angle's staunch conservative views from the moment she won the June 8 primary has cost her support among every voter group -- from men and women to both political parties and independents -- in vote-rich Clark and Washoe counties.

"He's had five perfect weeks," said Brad Coker of Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, which conducted the survey. "The race has been all about her, and he's been doing a good job of pounding her."

Yet Coker said it's too soon to write off Angle. More than one-quarter of the nonpartisan swing voters who probably will decide the Nov. 2 election haven't jumped to the still-unpopular Reid but instead are undecided or in the "other" or "none of these candidates" columns, the poll showed.

7. I love it

the media had Reid all but dead no more than a month ago. Now the people of Nevada are getting a nice clear look at the nutjob the Republicans think would be a good Senator and they don't seem to care for it.

I'm no big fan of the way Harry Reid has been controlling the Senate but shit when it comes down to a fight between him and Sharon Angle I'm behind him 100%.

10. Oh my God! What common sense!

"I'm no big fan of the way Harry Reid has been controlling the Senate but shit when it comes down to a fight between him and Sharon Angle I'm behind him 100%."

I was beginning to think this kind of thinking is not allowed on DU.

20. Being accused of pragmatism is only slightly better than being labeled a racist pedophile who ...

occasionally dabbles in bestiality, here at good old DU.

8. She should only have a 23% rating period

that's the republican ratio. And as goofy as she is, most republicans shouldn't even consider her.

11. if angle was up by 7 points, the media would be calling it a landslide

[Arkana]

12. And Harry hasn't even had to do any difficult campaigning--Angle is literally drowning in a sea

of her own crazy.

13. Peaking at the right

time. :D

[PCIntern]

14. Yes and I believe that his

is going to happen all over the country...once these loons are exposed for what they are, they're going to have a hard time winning.

Can't wait to see Tweety drooling in november about how he was dead wrong...of course, if it looks like it's gonna swing our way early, he'll be jabbering about how the Rethugs blew their perfect chance.

15. Whew - Gives Me Hope

Please NV - don't do it, she's dangerous and dumb.

[Touchdown]

16. Considering the things she's said, it's sad that she's that high.

We are sinking.

[opihimoimoi]

17. Poor widdle Sharron..lost and confused...thought she had it all but wrapped up...WRONG

[joeybee12]

18. A vanity kick because this is good news...nt/

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

19. Keep it up

It's sad that this idiot is even that close.

[SoCalDem]

21. I hope Harry wins, BUT I do NOT want to see him remain Senate Leader

we need a STRONG-willed and somewhat PUSHY senator from a SAFE dem state.
