From the LVRJ: More than half of Nevadans are unhappy with Sen. Harry Reid, according to a new poll commissioned by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. It's the worst "unfavorable" rating he's received in the newspaper's surveys for this year's election, and it comes amid quiet speculation -- or perhaps wishful thinking by his opponents -- that it's time for the Nevada Democrat to retire rather than lose re-election....According to the survey:
• 52 percent had an unfavorable opinion of Reid, 33 percent had a favorable view and another 15 percent said they're neutral. In early December, a Mason-Dixon poll put his unfavorable-favorable rating at 49-38. The lowest Reid's popularity had slipped before in the surveys was 50 percent -- in October, August and May of 2009, when Mason-Dixon started tracking the senate race for the Review-Journal.
The poll also took a snapshot of how Reid would do against three potential GOP opponents. In each case -- as in past Review-Journal surveys -- it showed the senator would lose with only four in 10 voters supporting him. The potential match-ups would look like this:
• Sue Lowden, former Nevada Republican Party chairwoman, would get 50 percent of the vote to Reid's 40 percent with 10 percent undecided.
• Danny Tarkanian, a businessman and former UNLV basketball star, would gain 49 percent of the vote to Reid's 41 percent.
• And Sharron Angle, a former Reno assemblywoman, would get 45 percent of the vote to Reid's 40 percent, a strong showing given her low name recognition statewide -- 42 percent don't know her. http://www.lvrj.com/news/reid-hits-new-low-in-poll-81060702.html
In another poll, Reid is shown losing to a ham sandwich with mayo and a pickle with mold on the bread.
But Harry remains delusional: "I am absolutely running for re-election," said Reid, 70, in a statement. "These are difficult times for Nevada and as the majority leader of the Senate I have been able to take action to address those challenges. But I know there is more work to do to turn our state's economy around and create jobs and I am committed to seeing it through."
Yeah, Harry, and what have you done for Nevada besides killing jobs either through legislation or directly? Hundreds if not thousands?
The problem with Reid is that he thinks this is the good old days or corruption and the old boy network. He has problems remembering that there are thousands of Nevadans out of work and he hasn't done anything except kiss Obama's butt and say "Green Jobs, Green Jobs," like a parrot to Obama.
Reid continues to call in favors by having union thugs advertise for him on the radio, TV and newspaper and his poll numbers keep on falling.
But yet, there is a single, solitary voice, Kent Davenport, a hearing aid salesman, who has the only opposing advertisement to Reid, telling Reid to shut up. That ad has had more effect than all of Harry's money.
So, good bye Harry and take your little boy with you. You have caused too much harm to Nevada.
