Senator "The Surge is a Failure" Reid's Poll numbers are plummeting
Molly Ball of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Senator Harry Reid's favorable rating in Nevada has "plunged dramatically," according to a new poll. Currently, Reid's favorable rating is at 32%, while his unfavorable rating is at 51%, a net 23-point drop from the last poll taken in early May when Reid scored a 46/42 favorable/unfavorable rating. Ball reports this is the first time Reid's unfavorable rating has eclipsed his favorable rating. It also puts him below the favorable ratings recorded by President Bush and radio host Rush Limbaugh, among others: Senator John Ensign 51/19 Bill Clinton 51/37 Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman 42/17 Hillary Clinton 38/51 Rush Limbaugh 34/50 President Bush 34/53 Senator Harry Reid 32/51 Governor Jim Gibbons 30/29 Pollster Brad Coker of Mason-Dixon offered a wry observation of Reid and Limbaugh's similar ratings: "That's how polarizing Harry Reid has become. But Rush is trying to be polarizing. Reid just does it anyway." I wondered about this in a comment last week - sure enough the Las Vegas Newspaper comes through with my answer Posted by: mhw 2007-10-15 |
