Reid Surges Ahead of Tea Party Favorite Angle

[K8-EEE]

Source: Fox News

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is leading Tea Party favorite and Republican candidate Sharron Angle 52 to 36 percent among registered voters, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows.

In the last month the Real Clear Politics average has shown a slight lead for Reid, but the new surge is a turnaround for the majority leader, who earlier this year was facing dismal approval ratings and struggling in polls matching him up with potential Republican contenders.

Teabagger Crash & Burn.

[K8-EEE]

1. She is a total embarrassment to the teabaggers

Even the freepers don't really want to talk about her any more and they used to carry on like she was the second coming.

[NewJeffCT]

22. She is a teabagger

but, it's embarrassing that she lost such a big lead in such a short amount of time.

[pscot]

27. She's just what you can expect

when the 4th quintile fields a candidate.

[happygoluckytoyou]

36. HARRY SHOULD SEND A BOX OF CHOCOLATES TO SARAH!!!!!

with his ratings from the past year or so he was DOOMED....

it took SARAH and several PLUMBERS NAMED JOE to find a candidate who SCARED THE MIDDLE BACK TO THE LEFT ! ! !

it took 8 YEARS OF DUBYA to allow the AMERICANS to consider a BLACK MAN or a WOMAN for president ! ! !


---------------- while the GOP has invented DEATH PANELS and DEATH TAXES
and changed PRO CHOICE into PRO DEATH....

YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON THEM TO COME THROUGH IN THE END WITH A CANDIDATE WHO CANNOT EVEN GET HER MOM'S VOTE

[lob1]

2. Reid is now leading 52% to 36%? What a change.

Angle must've finally giving a press interview.

[opihimoimoi]

3. Common sense told us this would happen once the peeps heard Sharrons wacky views

[gauguin57]

4. I guess that once you realize someone's opponent could be legally declared insane ...

... even some of the mouth-breathers will go toward the light.

[mvd]

5. K&R

Let's see if the media runs this and goes against their stupid "Tea Party is surging" narrative.

[Dark]

6. hahahaha. I never thought I could support Reid, but this dipshit means even I can't be against reid.

nt

[ElectricLightDem]

15. No longer live in NV, but...

I agree with you that Reid is the (much) better of the two evils.

[Dark]

31. Welcome to DU!

Yea, it's scary that someone this stupid/crazy could get so close to the senate.

Of course, that happened in 2008 with Palin. So I guess it's scary that it could happen again.

[AlinPA]

7. But will Democrats come out to vote in NV?

[winstars]

8. They Better!!! They have to... I mean, come on man she is crazy... nt

[chat_noir]

9. Fox pulled the story?

[K8-EEE]

21. Wow I wonder what that is all about???

Fox pulled it; and I can't find these numbers anywhere else, did they make it up? If so why? Thanks for the cache...

[CLANG]

24. They just changed the URL:

[elmerdem]

10. always hoped

the tea-party vs. repub primary would get rid of the wrong part of the republicans (the moderates). Now they have moved even further to the nutty side leaving a chance for even Harry to get back in the race. Rand is the only reason Conway has a chance in KY. Trey Grayson would have won walking away, but Dr. Looney britches is going to make this interesting. Let's hope that Mitch will offer Rand some support & KY may well have its first Dem Senator in years!

[Stevepol]

11. Two ways this election could go.

If the vote is honestly recorded by the machines, Reid wins by approximately 52% to 36%.

If the vote goes as in SC with the ES&S machines, Reid loses by approximately 52% to 36%.

[totodeinhere]

12. You left out an important detail.

But among likely voters, his margin is just 48 to 44, well within the 4.6 percent margin of error in the race for the Nevada senate seat.

So in other words, among likely voters that race is too close to call.

The latest Las Vegas Review-Journal poll has it 43-42.

http://www.rgj.com/article/20100802/NEWS/8020322/1321

A second statewide telephone survey this month by Washington, D.C.-based Mason-Dixon Polling & Research for the Las Vegas Review-Journal and KLAS-TV found 43 percent support for Reid and 42 percent for Angle. Six percent were undecided.

This race is going down to the wire. You can cherry pick favorable information from one poll, but most observers in Nevada expect it to be close. BTW, I am in Nevada.

[Hawaii Hiker]

13. Reid should absolutely wallop Angle in the Las Vegas area

and that's where most of the voters are, so hopefully that will be enough to propel him to victory, :woohoo:

[DFLforever]

30. I think most pollsters prefer to use 'registered' rather than 'likely'

until they get closer to the actual election.

Isn't that one of the quibbles with Rasmussen - he utilizes 'likely' much farther out
than is commonly done?

[NewJeffCT]

32. Considering that Reid was way down a few months ago

He certainly has momentum on his side and could win this race by a decent margin

[breadandwine]

34. Exactly, Totodeinhere. Reid's support is not enthusiastic. Angle's is ready to storm the polls

with pitchforks.

And that's the problem all over the country.

When you factor in likely voters we are in big trouble nationally and even with Reid running against a total nut job he is still not well ahead.

This is because we do not "rile up" our base and they do.

[Duke Newcombe]

37. And the fact that it's even close...

speaks volumes about the intelligence of the average NV voter. Sad, really.

[wryter2000]

14. But, I thought

I thought Harry Reid was vulnerable. I thought it was going to be a bloodbath in favor of the Republicans.

:sarcasm:

[DainBramaged]

16. They keep trying to convince America and unless they steal the elections

ain't gonna happen. People aren't dumb, these teabaggers are scum and crazy.

[activa8tr]

17. STRANGE.... although I CERTAINLY want to believe this... Fox doesn't seem to

have the article up on that link anymore.

They took it down???

Never mind, I found it.

[K8-EEE]

18. Maybe Sharron's new "communications director" called...

Disappeared!!

[jpak]

19. bit...but..but the GOP is supposed sweep the November elections and Reid is "unelectable"

in 2010 cuz of Obamacare etc.

I guess it ain't true

who knew?

:rofl:

[Balderdash]

20. Yay! Keep talking Sharron...

Crazy assed Tea Baggers will get sane people up and out to vote.

[W T F]

23. Teabaggers are getting trod upon!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[K8-EEE]

25. Weak tea!

Pretty stale too....

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. 36% of a populace wants sharon angle angle as their rep?

are they nuts.

[Robeson]

29. Apparently so.

[NewJeffCT]

33. I'm guessing a lot of them are

either not all that knowledgeable about her politics and just said Angle because she has an "R" next to her name or because they don't like Reid and see Angle with the "R" next to her name.

[alp227]

28. Good news. and a working link from Reuters website

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6724JH20100803

[Kolesar]

35. Nevadans should appreciate that the Yucca Mountain nuclear dump will never be built

Show Harry Reid some consideration.

[DesertDiamond]

38. I'm wondering if they'l start a scandal on Reid so they can point to that when they

steal the election.

[DFW]

39. Thereby indicating

That batshit crazy and incompetence for the job is, too, a factor. Well whoda thunk it?

[ngant17]

40. I'm hoping the Hispanic vote will help turn it over in his favor

likewise there is speculation that the Hispanic vote in Central Florida might help Rep. Alan Grayson get re-elected, but in his case it would be from the Puerto Rican voters or possibly the younger Cuban-American voters.

Chicano vote in New Mexico should be helpful for Reid.

[mzmolly]

41. Let's hope it's the beginning of a trend.

:D

[ThoughtCriminal]

42. What? The GOP managed to find somebody that could lose?

To Reid? Ah, the Teabag touch.
