Poll Watch: Nevada Senator Harry Reid in Re-Election Jeopardy

Dingy Harry Reid, Democrat Senate Majority Leader is behind to both possible GOP candidates for Nevada United States Senate.

It’s the highest stakes ever for a Nevada election, and former boxer Sen. Harry Reid is on the ropes early. Either Republican Danny Tarkanian or Sue Lowden would knock out Reid in a general election, according to a recent poll of Nevada voters.

The results suggest the Democratic Senate majority leader will have to punch hard and often in order to retain his position as the most accomplished politician in state history, in terms of job status.

Nevadans favored Tarkanian over Reid 49 percent to 38 percent and Lowden over Reid 45 percent to 40 percent, according to the poll.

Reid’s status makes him an icon of the Democratic Party and ties him to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and President Barack Obama, both of whom are losing ground among centrist and right-leaning voters in the country.

The economy in Las Vegas sucks and the Nevada unemployment rate is higher than California’s. Nevada voters are looking for a change – and it is NOT Harry Reid.

Looks like the GOP will try to do the same to Dingy Harry as they did to Tom Daschle.

The quicker for Nevada, the better. Then, the GOP can replace John Ensign in 2012.
