The new Mason-Dixon poll of Nevada shows some signs of new life for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, with him barely trailing two of his Republican challengers -- and even leading former state Rep. Sharron Angle, the Tea Party-backed candidate for the GOP nomination.

Former state GOP chair Sue Lowden leads Reid by 42%-39, former UNLV basketball player Danny Tarkanian edges Reid by 42%-41%, and Reid leads Angle by 42%-39%. The poll of registered voters has a ±4% margin of error. In the previous Mason-Dixon poll from early April, Lowden led Reid by 46%-38%, Tarkanian was tied with Reid at 39%-39%, and Angle -- who at the time was widely ignored -- was not tested.

1. One Almost hates to say it, Sir, But Reid will pull this Out in November

[laughingliberal]

3. Too close to call but I've said all along it was too soon to count him out or as he has said:

"I've been in tough races before." The Republican nominee (whoever) will come into the race bloodied. They are savaging each other and none has a substantial lead over him. I'm pulling for Angle. I think he has an excellent chance of beating her and Lowden's gaffe's and Angle's Tea Party support will probably give her the primary.

2. Since this thread is being unrec'd, I take it some folks would rather

have louden instead of Reid. Sigh.

[laughingliberal]

4. I recc'd it. I think Reid has a real shot at keeping his seat.

Course when campaigning, that changes to, "I have no reason to doubt Nevada will send Harry back to the Senate to continue his work on behalf of the people of our state"
