Sharron Angle supporters wish.....they could vote for someone other than Sharron Angle

from HuffPost:



A new poll released Friday by the Las Vegas Review Journal shows Harry Reid and Sharron Angle tied for the lead in the Nevada Senate race, but the poll shows signs of extremely tepid support for Angle among her own supporters.

As noted by the Review-Journal's Laura Myers, two thirds of Angle's backers wished another nominee had been selected. According to Myers:

Some 68 percent of those surveyed said they would have preferred if a candidate other than Angle had won the GOP primary. Among them were 71 percent of Republicans, 71 percent of nonpartisans and 64 percent Democrats. Among Angle voters, 66 percent said they would have preferred another GOP nominee, as would have 68 percent of Reid voters and 79 percent of those in neither camp.

In the poll, conducted for the Review-Journal by Mason-Dixon Polling and Research, Reid leads Angle by a razor thin 45%-44% margin, well within the poll's 4% margin of error. The poll was conducted August 23-25 among 625 likely voters.

While Reid's numbers are better than Angle's among his own supporters, his statewide support was also weak -- 49% of voters said they would have preferred a different Democratic nominee. Reid's support appears to be more solid among his own backers, however -- 79% of Reid voters said they would not prefer another candidate, while only 18% said they would. .........(more)

2. That's ironic.

I imagine some of Harry Reid's supporters are facing the same dilemma.
