NV Poll: Reid Would Lose to Lowden
2009-08-11
New poll in Nevada by Vitale & Associates (July 29-30, 510 LV, MoE +/-4.4%) shows incumbent Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid losing by six points to Sue Lowden, chairwoman of the Nevada Republican Party, 44-38, with 10% undecided.

From the Las Vegas Review-Journal write up:


Pollster Todd Vitale said the most telling numbers might be the ones related to Reid.

In three Reid-related categories -- image, approval and whether they would vote to re-elect -- respondents gave the senator a thumbs down. Just 39 percent viewed Reid favorably, and 34 percent said they would vote to re-elect him.

"All of those are very, very telling pieces of information," said Vitale, who has been a pollster for 15 years. "I've never seen an incumbent with numbers this bad who hadn't had some scandal."

#10  Lowden is a former Miss New Jersey and Miss America runner-up. If Lowden is any good, she might be the Republican to walk through the door that Sarah Palin opened up.

#9  Have Reid represent your state in the Senate is almost as embarrassing as Franken.

#6  Smartest thing Harry could do is give up being Senate Majority Leader and spend the next year working on his image back home.

Since it's the smartest thing he could do, he won't do it.

#5  Peloski has been shooting her mouth off like crazy but Reed has been pretty quite. He knows now is not the time to give his opponent ammunition for the coming race.

#4  Favorable rating below 50% is very bad news for any incumbent. 39% is death.

#3  ...You know, I've been saying since the 2000 elections that we're going to see a (D)incumbent at the national level (Congress/Senate/President)who is going to lose - and lose big - and refuse to leave office.

Any takers on whether or not Reid will be the guy?

#1  I've never seen an incumbent with numbers this bad who hadn't had some scandal.

Looting the public treasury for patronage isn't a scandal? /rhetorical question.
