Locked in a dead heat, both U.S. Sen. Harry Reid and Sharron Angle picked up support in the past two weeks, according to a poll for the Las Vegas Review-Journal and 8NewsNow that shows Nevada voters sharply divided on whether Reid’s Senate seniority is too valuable to lose.
More than half of those surveyed, 51 percent, said the Senate majority leader’s influence is not too valuable to give up, while 45 percent said Nevada can’t afford to lose his clout, said the survey by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research. Another 4 percent weren’t sure.
Overall, Reid edged out Angle 46 percent to 44 percent. It’s the best showing so far for both candidates in Mason-Dixon matchups as more voters picked sides between the Democratic incumbent and the Tea Party-backed Republican with early voting nine weeks away.
