A new poll out Tuesday holds more bad news for Sen. John Ensign’s (R-Nev.) 2012 prospects.
Numbers from Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling show Rep. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) would easily defeat Ensign in a Republican primary if the senator opted to seek reelection.
Heller leads Ensign 52 percent to 34 percent in a hypothetical 2012 primary match up. That’s a sea change from just three months ago when PPP measured a lead for Ensign over Heller in a potential primary, 45 percent to 37 percent.
