New Mason-Dixon Poll Shows Angle-Reid Almost A Dead Heat

Today, the LVRJ and Channel 8 released a poll showing Sharron Angle tightening up her race against Harry Reid. From Channel 8:
Candidate

Harry Reid, Democrat
43%
Sharron Angle, Republican
42%
Another party candidate
2%
None of these
7%
Undecided
6%

A couple of weeks ago, this same poll showed that Reid was beating Angle by 8 points and now it is a 1 point difference? This is why Mason-Dixon is not as trust worthy as a poll as compared to Rasmussen.
But the damaged had been done for several weeks. The Las Vegas Sun trumpeted this poll on their web site and newspaper. The columnists at the LVRJ and Sun were gleeful, writing Angle's obituary. Jon Ralston was painfully deceitful and dishonest.
But now, it is a dead heat and Reid must be getting nervous. Reid had Obama in for a visit and that didn't help him. Reid has been running a lot of commercials demonizing Angle and it has not helped him. Angle has done a pathetic job campaigning so far and she is statistically in a dead heat or even leading. So, what changed? My guess is that the poll taken several weeks ago was inaccurate.
Here's a good bet to take. The Las Vegas Sun will not run an article on this poll.
