Bad News for Harry Reid

Things ain’t looking too good for poor ol’ Harry Reid.  He lost his 60th vote in the Senate in January, the number of potential GOP election pick-ups just keeps rising, and he is one of the most endangered Democrats.

Even granting its tilt towards Republicans, Rassmussen Reports paints a dismal picture for the Majority Leader:

Two of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s Republican challengers have again crossed the 50% threshold and now hold double-digit leads in Nevada’s U.S. Senate race. One big hurdle for the incumbent is that most Nevada voters are strongly opposed to the health care legislation championed by Reid and President Barack Obama.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in the state finds Sue Lowden, ex-chairman of the Nevada Republican Party, with a 51% to 38% lead on Reid. Seven percent (7%) prefer some other candidate, but just three percent (3%) are undecided.

Businessman Danny Tarkanian posts a similar 50% to 37% lead over the embattled Democratic leader. Nine percent (9%) opt for another candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.

Last month, Reid earned 39% of the vote against both Republicans, while Lowden picked up 45% and Tarkanian 47% in their respective match-ups with him.

Tarkanian hit 50% in January, and both he and Lowden posted that level of support last September.

It would be a nice double blow:  Have Harry lose his seat while his colleagues are losing their majority.

I hope Nevadans aren't going to fall for that third party "Tea Party" that the Democrats are trying to set up.

LNKelly| 3.7.10 @ 12:27AM

Don't worry, I honestly don't think the Tea Party is going to be a significant factor here in the Nevada election at all. Harry Reid, however, cannot be counted out as he always seems to barely manage to win somehow. Personally, I am much more worried about fraud.

Judy Pepenella-CSA | 3.7.10 @ 4:35PM

I hope you are right about that Tea Party group. They are shills for Reid and we must not allow them to take any votes away from the chosen candidate from the citizens of Nevada. I am with Conservative Society for Action in NY and the co-coordinator for NYS for Tea Party Patriots. . WE THE PEOPLE will prevail. SILENT NO MORE Judy Pepenella http://www.csa-1776.org

If Reid is not elected for another term the damage will have already been done. Reid's legacy will be the transformation of America into a third rate socialist nanny state. Republicans have not the stomach to undue what it done. In fact Republicans have equally falled to the false idol of government power. Its all about power nothing else. Hopefully the American people will start to take it back with the November elections!

Oldefarte| 3.6.10 @ 2:35PM

I'd recommend to Navada voters to pull the lever for BOZO THE CLOWN or ZIP THE CHIMP, as opposed to Harry Reid-----at least with the first two, you might get a half-way intelligent representative for your state!!!!!

Truth to Power| 3.6.10 @ 3:10PM

Somebody should warn Mrs. Reid. We all know what men do when they have been laid off.

Franklin| 3.6.10 @ 7:40PM

HAHAHA, very funny, T to P!!

Sally| 3.7.10 @ 2:01AM

Why did you leave out the rest of the poll which showed the third in the race also beating Harry? What about the part of the poll that also showed Sharron Angle beating Harry 46%? Don't count Mrs. Angle out of the race.
