WASHINGTON -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid famously ignores polls, but he might be paying attention to this one.
Results released today show not only does Reid remain unpopular in Nevada, he would be clobbered in next fall’s election by either of two potential Republican challengers.
The poll has been bouncing around Washington today – other takes on the poll are available from Politico and CQ Politics.
The poll shows Reid being beat by 11 percentage points (38 percent to 49 percent, with 13 undecided) by Republican Danny Tarkanian, a real estate professional who has run twice unsuccessfully for public office. His father was the legendary basketball coach at UNLV.
If the matchup were today, Reid also would fall to Sue Lowden (40 percent to 45 percent, with 15 undecided), the chair of the state’s struggling Republican Party who has not yet entered the race. The former state legislator and television news journalist is expected to announce in the next few weeks if she will run.

Great news !!! :) It would be funny to see two consecutive DimRat Senate Leaders be voted out of office. May Harry join Daschle.

That's good news. Lets hope those numbers stay like that until election time next year.

The way the economy/unemployment/home prices are all depressed in Vegas, it sure as hell ain't helping Dingy Harry.

Obama is going to have this impact on a lot of Dims. You can only spray Glade on a turd for so long before the can runs out and you realize that it is, in fact, a turd.

I'm really beginning to enjoy Obama's presidency.

Hairy Reed isn't the only one of them in trouble, there's also Corzine, Paterson, Ridge . . . the list goes on and on. I think a stick of incense is going to able to beat the Majority Leader in Nevada next year by the way things look now. Of course, Pelosi will in all likelihood win her seat again in the House, but she won't be Speaker if it's as bad for them as it's shaping up to be. They jumped on the Obama ship, they can go down with the Obama ship.
