Dead Heat in Nevada
A new Mason-Dixon poll in Nevada shows Sen. Harry Reid (D) and challenger Sharron Angle (R) neck and neck.
Reid barely edges Angle among likely voters, 43% to 42%. Two weeks ago, he had a seven point lead.
Said pollster Brad Coker: “At least for the moment, Angle seems to have stopped the bleeding. Reid had the airwaves to himself for a while, and he drove her numbers down with the advertising. But that didn’t necessarily drive his numbers up. There hasn’t been a lot of good news to hang his hat on.”
Very Tight Race for Florida Governor
A new Quinnipiac poll in Florida finds a very close three-way race for governor between Alex Sink (D), and either of the Republican candidates Rick Scott (R) or Bill McCollum (R), and the independent Bud Chiles (I).
With Scott as the GOP nominee, he leads with 29%, followed by Sink at 27% and Chiles 14%.
If McCollum wins the Republican primary, he would lead with 27%, followed by Sink at 26%, and Chiles at 14%.
Crist Maintains Lead in Florida Senate Race
A new Quinnipiac poll in Florida finds Gov. Charlie Crist (I) leading the three-way race for U.S. Senate with 37%, followed by Marco Rubio (R) at 32% and Jeff Greene (D) at 17%.
If Rep. Kendrick Meek (D) wins the Democratic primary, Crist’s lead would be 39%, followed by Rubio at 33% and Meek at 13%.
Key finding: Crist’s lead is based on getting half the independent voters, about 20% of Republicans and about 40% of Democrats. He also has a 53% to 37% job approval rating.
