Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is increasingly looking like
one of the most vulnerable Senate Democrats in the 2010 election
cycle. A new Mason-Dixon
poll shows both Republican challengers (former state party official Sue Lowden and real
estate developer Danny Tarkanian) beating Reid in
hypothetical matchups:
In one general election scenario, 49 percent of respondents
picked Lowden and 39 percent chose Reid. In another, 48 percent
picked Tarkanian to 43 percent for Reid. That poll, which
surveyed 500 voters Tuesday through Thursday, has a margin of
error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.
The primary electorate is closely divided on who they want to
challenge Reid, with 23 for
Lowden, 21 percent for Tarkanian and 44 percent undecided.
