Poll: Reid leads Angle by 3

A new poll could provide a little bit of good news for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, whose Tea-Party backed opponent, Sharron Angle, announced yesterday that she raised an astonishing $14 million in just three months.

The survey from Suffolk University shows Reid with a 3-point lead over Angle – within the poll's margin of error but one of Reid's best performances in a nonpartisan poll since early last month.

The poll showed 46 percent of likely Nevada voters supporting Reid, 43 supporting Angle, and 2 percent supporting Tea Party candidate Scott Ashjian. Three percent of likely voters said "None of these candidates" when they were given the option to "lean" towards one of the contenders; when asked whom they supported without including the "lean" option, 13 percent said they would support none of them.

It's not hard to see why Nevada voters might be dissatisfied with their major candidates. Fifty-two percent of respondents said they said they had an unfavorable opinion of Angle, and 54 percent said the same of Reid.

one thing that the NV voters should consider is the value of haveing the speaker of the senate as their senator

another thing is they should wonder where all of the money is coming from and who is buying their senate seat

    You know what you are getting with Reid and it is and has always been very ugly. Why not at least try for something better?? If that doesnt work out you can always vote for something better in the future. You really dont want more years of the Reid hate and failure do you.? Vote him in again and the hate and failure is guaranteed. Give something else a chance...

        I don't know about that. I'm a knee-jerk flaming liberal with a long career in the private sector. I've always thought of profit as a good thing. (Pssst: There are plenty of others out there just like me. But don't let it get around. We wouldn't want our liberal friends to know that we want businesses to succeed.)

        I'm a liberal. I don't want all big business to fail.

        I want all BAD business, whether big or not, to fail, or at least suffer until they learn how to be a good business. At that point, I don't want to see the business fail, but rather to be successful. After all, otherwise how would anyone (conservative OR liberal or other political persuasion) be able to make a living, buy goods, buy houses? And if no business succeeded, there would be no means to support the military, as that takes a lot of tax dollars. And the roads would all fall apart - unfixed potholes, bridges falling down, etc. Children wouldn't be able to be educated very easily - it takes money for school books to be purchased. Etc., etc.

          Yes, it did -- in partnership with government. You know, things like the Interstate Highway system and NASA, two undertakings initiated by that infamous "socialist" Dwight Eisenhower. And the prosperity wouldn't have trickled down very far without unions.

          The reason America is prosperous is because in general, it has gone with what works, not with any rigid ideology like pure capitalism or socialism.

          2 examples that are falling apart. How about the private sector. I'd take the business model of Gates, Jobs, Ford, etc over those anyway.

          NASA can be viewed more as a gov't R&D project than a business. A huge portion of our current technology was a result of them. For it to be slowly dismantled right before our eyes is a shame. Agreeing to the ISS and it's location was a HUGE setback for the program and it was all due to the decisions made by our elected officials. We could hae had a base on the moon for a launchpoint further into space or a station in the "sweet spot" right where gravity is balanced between the moon & the earth that would have given us much more than just reproducing what the Russians and Americans have already done with orbital tin cans.

          And the prosperity wouldn't have trickled down very far without unions.

          Unions, like gov't officials, have their necessary roles to fill such as workplace safety, etc. It's when they grow too big that they get corrupt and forget they aren't supposed to be protecting Joe Schmoe's job when he keeps falling asleep at work. They have an obligation to make sure they're offering the best labor force to be deserving of the raises they are requesting.

            NOVEMBER 2ND! A black day for Incumbents. Tread down the Liberal Extremist agenda?

            SHOW THESE LAWMAKERS WHO ARE IN CHARGE. THEY SEEM TO HAVE FORGOT THEY ARE PUBLIC SERVANTS?

            THE—dominant issue you need to think about before you go to the polls is illegal immigration. Senator Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer, Gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown in California and the majority of Lib-Democrats are all ready to pass some form of Amnesty. Illegal Immigration means simply billions and billions of dollars, taken by the IRS to support foreigners. The business who hire them pay zero towards their health care, education for their children and cramming the prison system. Amnesty or a path to citizenship is indeed a very costly proposition and our elected officials don't seem to care. In the Liberal-Democratic ego it just means more votes, never mind that the Heritage Foundation estimates the costs at $2.6 Trillion dollars. THAT'S OVER TWO AND HALF TRILLION ADDED TO THE THIRTEEN TRILLION WE ALREADY TRYING TO DEAL WITH? Organizations such as Judicial Watch, FAIR and NumbersUSA are disturbed that this will be the first issue before the new session of the Senate, enactment of some form of Amnesty.

            Nearly every state has Sanctuary Cities which are like refuges for illegal nationals and politicians such as Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer, Russ Feingold, Gove. Martin O'Malley and followers Nancy Pelosi, Janet Napolitano have voted to fund these communities. Investigate for your own piece of mind by using keywords in Google's Search Engine. Just remember to type this word--illegal alien and costs. If the repugnant amounts of cash appropriated by our lying governments don't affect your vote--nothing will? The Democrats ads keep slamming their adversaries about taxes, jobs and other chronic issues. Eight Million jobs are already available, but in the hands of foreign nationals instead of citizens and legal residents. Coming fast to Obama’s plans is a overhaul of our deteriorating infrastructure, so this would be a time to demand a permanent E-Verify program; not voluntarily. This new innovation can distinguish fraudulent documents of illegal labor and return jobs to American construction industry workers.

            We must also be quick to respond that illegal aliens will vote in November that could impinge on all close races. Google--all these immigration subjects under the umbrella of Democrats and the GOP and understand you have the power. Taxes will be inevitably be extorted out of your pocket to pay for welfare programs. Google a US Senator, your state Senator or Congressman and view their stance and voting records relating to illegal immigration. THIS NOVEMBER WE CAN RID WASHINGTON OF ALL INCUMBENT, CAREER POLITICIANS, PRO-AMNESTY ENCUMBRANCES When you vote then think about the money being taken from your wallet, to pay for all the entitlements illegal aliens. Direct implications of this will invoke millions more destitute people, trying to reach America before the official signing.

            If the US Government doesn't conform to the wellbeing of the people and--once and for all--seal the border, with the two matching fences as enacted by the 2006 Secure Fence Act the failure to stop the onrush will never end. Reckless politicians must end cutting corners and finish the job across the border region with the double fencing. Arizona would never enacted the policing law SB1170, if the feds had not failed to do their job. A state is being sued, because they want to protect--REAL--citizens/residents, and stop the uncountable proportion of illegal aliens to get jobs, steal ID to use for other nefarious purposes. This not just about Washington politicians, but all those elected officials who think another Amnesty is great for America? At this point in time it's not good for American jobs or raising low income wages or the US taxpayer or an out-of-control overpopulation. TEA PARTY candidates will measure up to America's interests or they too will not last long in the Capitol. THE PEOPLE---are ready to take America back from the special interests and the open border zealots, the corruption and other poison that has permeated every level of government.

            Whoever the new candidate for Washington, Sacramento, New York or other states will be carefully manicured for every Citizen and residents new political horizon. Harry Reid's state of Nevada has high unemployment and a huge populace of illegal aliens that this legislator has allowed to escalate.

            Sorry to tell you this but its the republicans who pass the last amnesty for illegals, ronald reagan. he gave 20 million a free pass to citizen ship. so don't give us this lib, bull-sh*t. the immirgration problem has been there ever since.

            As a lib, i want the government to send them all back, but the republicans leadership will never let that happen because it depresses wages. to them union people cops, firemen and teachers make way too much. the republican trump card is illegals. for them the more of them the more they depress wages.

            our president has said too many times that he will never sign a immigration bill unless they pay a fine, go to the back of the line to become a citizen and most important, LEARN ENGLISH!!!!!!

            --------------------

            The utter failure of the Virtual Border Fence project contracted to BOEING underscores the fact that although Government can mess up a 2 car parade, so can Private Corporations if not worse.

            Cost overruns and the fact that SBInet sensors cannot distinguish between an illegal and vegetation has forced DHS to stop funding and use the money for other effective means of Border Security.

            In ordering a reassessment of the project on 8 January, DHS secretary Janet Napolitano said that the delays were unacceptable and that the government needs to consider more efficient and economical options. She did not elaborate. "Americans need border security now — not 10 years down the road," Napolitano said.

            If Immigration is the most critical issue in this election for someone, they should consider the official Libertarian stance on immigration as they make their choice. As you all know, Rand Paul and many in the Tea Party are libertarians. Or, at least, Rand Paul and his father Ron are, and many Tea Party supporters say they are.

            Here is the official Cato Institute position on immigration. The Cato Institute is the country's leading libertarian think tank:

            "Immigration should be considered an important source of necessary labor for the American economy. Immigration policies should be revised to allow US based businesses liberal access to both high and low-skilled workers. Immigration control should be focused on securing our borders from terrorists and criminals."

            In other words, libertarians don't even believe in Green Cards. Any worker should be free to cross any border to find work. That's not just amnesty, that's super amnesty.

            Now that you know, Tea Party, are you still libertarian?

            "We must also be quick to respond that illegal aliens will vote in November that could impinge on all close races."

            This kind of voter fraud is impossible to commit on a large scale. The real vote fraud comes from Con-Repubs who use extralegal means to suppress turnout.

            "never mind that the Heritage Foundation estimates the costs at $2.6 Trillion dollars."

            This might as well read "never mind that the official policy arm of the Con-Repub party estimates..." Next time, cite an independent, peer-reviewed study and not the underpinnings for Republican talking points generated by a partisan group with a axe to grind. No wonder you guys drove the country into a ditch when you ran the show.

            Alex - that is by Sulfolk (University Poll) Reid up 3 and PPP (Democratic Pollster) Reid up 2. Rasmussen shows Angle up 2. I would approach polling results this way.

            • Favor neutral polls if you can find one - some that proclaim being neutral really aren't.
            • Skip the news media version - Often they are done, just to provide backup for a news media position.
            • Skip the College version if a neutral poll is available. Thy can be right on today and way off the next day.
            • Use the Democrat poll if the Republican is shown leading, the republican is probably actually winning - but not necessarily by that margin
            • Use the Republican poll if the Democrat is winning - The democrat probably is actually winning - but not necessarily by that margin.
            • Use any poll IF no other is available - compare to past history for the seat

            I think that the race range is tied to 3 points in favor of Angle.

              DB Akron,

              Your reasoning on polls might be correct (or it might be incorrect). One thing you didn't state is that never, ever trust any poll put out by Rasmussen.

              He claims he's 'neutral' in his polling, yet the only network he appears on to discuss the polls he releases is Faux News. If Rasmussen polls actually were neutral, he would be on the other networks also. He isn't, because they see through his claims of 'neutrality'.

              You are incorrect about Rasmussen. His polls have been the most accurate during the past 10+ years. He has appeared on other networks, but the only reason he has not been on state-controlled media this election cycle (CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC) is the dreadful news for Democrats. Reid will lose in Nevada, a state where I reside. Most people who never vote are going to show up and vote for Angle out of disgust for Reid. Cute how you call it "Faux News." Did you think of that all by yourself? But of COURSE you are right. Why, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, et al would NEVER be accused of bias for liberals, now would they? Thank God for Fox News. It keeps unhinged liberals like you from getting away with lying all the time.

              Mike in B-more, that is a ridiculous if not a patented lie. Rasmussen has proven to be the most accurate pollster over the last 20 years. They predicted the 2008 election within .5% average across the board. They called the Obama presidential victory in 2008 by .43% in their last poll. Rasmussen has been viewed now as the standard bearer for national polling agencies. Even the pollster for the last two Democratic presidents have called Rasmussen one of the most accurate pollster in the country.

              http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703436504574640973183026230.html

              I have also seen Scott Rasmussen in other networks including CNN and CBS News. That is why even Democratic pollster have praised Rasmussen for their accuracy. It is a scientific poll and is very accurate.

                The things to remember are that Ronald Regan gave amnesty to 11 million illegal aliens. The Bush administration completely ignored the problem for 8 years. John McCain has held every position possible on the subject at various times depending on the political climate of the moment.

                  Steve, I tend to believe Nate Silver on this issue of incumbents and whatnot:

                  http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/10/11/incumbents-polling-below-50-often-win-re-election-despite-conventional-wisdom/#more-1983

                  Look at what he says about the Republicans in 2006:

                  "...even in the Democratic wave of 2006, 11 of the 12 Republicans who were under 50 percent in the polling with a month to go, but who did hold a lead, managed to hang on for the victory."

                  Huh. Might want to rethink your stance on this. He's got facts on his side; you've only got your singular opinion.

                  I'm not a poll watcher because of the Presidential election...Nate Silver was the ONLY person that actually had it right and Keith Olbermann was the first person to have Nate on as a guest....

                    Steve...

                    You really should stop projecting your dreams as a bookable, sure bet, outcome. You've evidently forgotten about the registered Tea Party candidate in NV, Ashjian (remember him...he's the one that Angle tried to get to quit so he wouldn't syphon off potential votes that may have gone to her), and NV also has a "None of the Above" on the ballot as well as some independent party nominees also.

                    Between Angle and Ashjian, any Republican/Tea Party-minded voter will have to make a choice on just how much extremism they want to support (a good side bet would be who is the saner of the two...we already know it would be very long odds for Angle, but I think Ashjian could be not that far behind her). Seems the Republicans and Tea Party folks in Nevada are working at cross-purposes and that usually doesn't bode well for either. You can't possibly imagine how much it breaks my heart to see them feast on each other...(sniffle).

                    Anyone not of that mind has probably already decided to either vote for Reid, one of the independent party candidates or "None of Above".

                    So you see...Steve...there are more horses in this race than just two.

                      Steve?

                      You state "The Real Problem we see. . . ."

                      Who is the 'we'?

                      Are you ASSuming that all of us 'see the problem'? What problem? There is more than one problem - you say 'the real problem', which implies that there are multiple problems, but only one that needs to be solved?

                      Or is the 'we' a "royal 'we' "? Didn't you learn in civics that the United States is not ruled by a monarchy? And even if we are, who appointed you as monarch?

                      Every pollster and political consultant of any consequence has said that any incumbent with less than 50% consistently in the polls with 2-3 weeks left is in big trouble. The electorate knows these incumbents and aren't sold on them. Every professional political scientist knows that these undecided voters usually break 4 or 5 to 1 for the challenger. These facts were born out by Dr. Larry Sabato, head of the Political Science Dept of the U of Virginia in a recent interview. Harry Reid is not in good shape at this point.

                        #5.17 - Thu Oct 14, 2010 8:47 AM EDT

                        spend a little less time trying to convince yourself that Angle is going to win - she isn't!

                        This party attitude is what usually causes losses. Just look at how it went with Scott Brown. How many people stayed at home on voting day because they assumed a traditional Democrat voting state was going to vote that way without them anyway?

                        Angle isn't the best person for the job, but Reid has already shown the type of politics he favors. The choice comes down to that really.

                        In the event he does win, he needs to step down as majority leader (assuming they maintain it). He's not allowing representation of all of the voters and trying to run it like there is no other view to represent other than his own. You wouldn't like it if it were the other way around. Scott Brown winning was the only thing that threw on the brakes. Prior to that, he couldn't even get things done with a majority of seats requiring no compromise for Republican votes.

                            You are wrong, Indy Lib (and probably an obnoxious Indy Colts fan). Angle will win this thing by two points or more. EVERY "tea party" member will show up to vote on election day, and most can't wait for early voting to begin. Many Reid supporters will either be locked up and/or hungover on election day.

                              MYTH #3: The nation spends billions of dollars on welfare for undocumented immigrants.

                              FACTS: To the contrary, undocumented immigrants are not eligible to receive any "welfare" benefits and even legal immigrants are severely restricted in the benefits they can receive.

                              As the Congressional Research Service points out in a 2007 report, undocumented immigrants, who comprise nearly one-third of all immigrants in the country, are not eligible to receive public "welfare" benefits -- ever.

                              Legal permanent residents (LPRs) must pay into the Social Security and Medicare systems for approximately 10 years 
                              before they are eligible to receive benefits when they retire. In most cases, LPRs can not receive SSI, which is available only to U.S. citizens, and are not eligible for means-tested public benefits until 5 years after receiving their green cards.

                              A 2007 analysis of welfare data by researchers at the Urban Institute reveals that less than 1 percent of households headed by undocumented immigrants receive cash assistance for needy families, compared to 5 percent of households headed by native-born U.S. citizens.

                              A 2007 analysis of U.S. Census data by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities makes clear that it is the U.S.-born, U.S.-citizen children of undocumented immigrants who are eligible for programs such as Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program 
                              (SCHIP). The analysis found that, between 1995 and 2005, the share of low-income, non- citizen immigrant children (either undocumented or legally present) who received Medicaid or SCHIP dropped from 36 percent to 30 percent.

                               

                              In brief: Casca couldn't be more wrong. Illegals are the scapegoat for problems caused by GOP letting the "market economy" go wild until it self-destructed. The Obama Administration is in the midst o a difficult repair job, made harder by the GOP's erection of thousands of straw men.

                              Also, illegals pay taxes. They pay sales tax, just like everyone. They pay property tax indirectly if they rent an apartment. If they get a fake Social Security Card, they are likely to have income tax and SSI withheld from their paychecks with no hope of getting it back because they can't file a return.

                                Schools get their money from the number of butts in the seat, no matter what their legal status, to the tune of about $5000 per student, varying by state -- if all of those "illegal" kids were pulled out of many districts, they would go broke overnight.

                                And it's documented that in Sanctuary Cities -- or any cities with a large, recent influx of undocumented workers -- violent crime has diminished. One quick Google search will tell you that. If you bother.

                                    limbaughger- You make a valid point about the a narrow margin benefiting Angle but it is highly unlikely that she will have a 10% lead by this time next week or by election day.

                                    Both candidates negatives are just to high. 46% to 47% on election day for either candidate will be the winning number.

                                      limbaugher - That's a great question. I have no idea myself but I hope it is a more moderate Senator.

                                        Yeah, go back in time and tell that to Harry Truman after he beat the pants off Dewey.

                                        If Angle should happen to win, she will be a bigger pain in the rear for the republican leadership than the democrats. She'll never stick with the program, she'll constantly being trying to bring up measures that the leadership knows are too toxic for the American public. And the press will continually be giving her the opportunity to stick her foot in her mouth.

                                        Come to think of it, she may be a democrat plant as a start on the 2012 campaign.

                                        A 'known fact'? Can you prove it? If it's a 'fact', then it can be proven.

                                        Of course, many people know for a fact that if a person ingests cat or dog hair, the cat or dog hair will turn into worms after they are ingested. For some reason, I suspect that you might fall for that fallacy of a fact if one of the Reich-wingers on radio or television told you it was so.

                                        Not necessarily a known fact, but a small margin of difference charges the voters for the one slightly behind more often. Based on many comments above stating there's no way she would win, how many of those do you think are so sure she'll lose that they won't bother voting?

                                        If you want proof, just look at the actual #s the story is about. http://elections.nytimes.com/2010/forecasts/senate/nevada

                                        Reid was behind by less than 5 points most of the time and it charged the losing side more. Just like in sports, would you rather be the team that pulled ahead by 1 score with a minute left on the clock and be on the defensive or be the team 1 point behind with the ball & nothing but a few people between you and the win?

                                          he probably is ahead by that amount -he has tons of money and the reps probably didnt defend sharon all that much cause she a tea partier and face it-we threw out a lot of left leaning repubs and ther mad at us for takin over there party-but like someone said earlier he cant break the 50% barrier despite all his money-he's ripe for the pickens because usually the incumbant loses if they have less than a 5% lead-gives the other side more incentive to vote and independants usually will vote to throw out a known incumbant-may be a late night affair to see who wins but doubt it, sharon now has money coming in-look for who to have it wrapped up by 10 points plus come voter night-we will see!! vote tea party were takin america back!!

                                          I think a lot of them want to 'take us back' to 1754, or even before.

                                              I wouldn't care who was running against Reid. The wimpy rat is the epitome of career politicians. You Nevadans will get just what you deserve voting this slimy, self-serving, out-of-touch sleazeball back into office. This is not a party issue..(haven't voted Rip or Dum for some time now...it is a moment in time to send a message to these clowns growing mold in Washington...."the party is over." So many voters just plod into the booth...see a name they recognize since they were old enough to read..."oh, I heard of that name." jeezus.

                                              The survey from Suffolk University shows Reid with a 3-point lead over Angle – within the poll's margin of error but one of Reid's best performances in a nonpartisan poll since early last month.

                                              I've said it once and I'll say it again...Angel will NOT win Nevada...those people are NOT stupid...

                                              Any responsible resident and voter in the state of Nevada will NOT elect "someone" of Angel's character to represent their state...

                                              Ensign was enough of an embarrassment...I'm not a poll dancer...

                                              Sorry Anita, but Reid's only hope is to get enough union members from Vegas to support him. Most of Northern Nevada is covered with "Anybody butt Reid" signs...

                                              Ultraconservative-547235,

                                              I see that you're borrowing that line fro Rev. Jesse Jackson..."Keep Hope Alive"...or are you remembering that "little Engine That Could"...you know...I think I can...

                                              Harry Reid doesn't need just the Union supporters as you Republicans seem to think that Democrats do...it's a long standing mantra of the Republican Party...

                                              When in reality...the Federal Government (under Republicans) started the "World Union"...that's what their intent has always been...

                                              Talk down unions in American manufacturing...kill it and ship jobs over seas, bring in forgein auto manufactures that have no unions, because the deal was cut in Washington to allow it...

                                              That in turn...cuts the throat of UAW--but little did they know...it became a cancer that spread and killed American blue collar jobs...

                                              It will take more than Northern Nevada to win an election ducky...furthermore...Angel's only angel is squeezing money out of people that are hurting...I don't think that Nevada will allow the bird in the hand to go...get it...

                                              Ultraconservative?

                                              What % of the population in Nevada is outside the Las Vegas metro area?

                                              I'd bet you'd see more signs for Eric Wargotz in Western Maryland than signs for Barbara Mikulski. Western Maryland doesn't have the population, though, that is in the I-95 corridor, and Mikulski is favored to win the Maryland Senate seat by 25-30% more votes than Wargotz.

                                              The urban areas are full of dump-Reid stickers & signs -- that's Las Vegas & Reno -- but the surprising thing is that in the rurals, where Reid's efforts have kept the counties from absolute disaster, you find support. They know who's helped them save jobs in the last two years, and they may grudge it, but for once they'll vote blue. Nevada vets also know that the reinstatement of veterans' benefits, with new panels re-opening eligibility cases and funding returned to outreach clinics, is due to Reid. Only folks with minds totally blocked by some weird self-hatred will vote to give up the strongest voice Nevada has ever had in the US Senate. Would we really want to wait another 200-odd years to get a Senate Leader? D'oh! Because it sure ain't gonna be Ensign, who is lying low & hoping all his problems will blow over before he's on the chopping block. Wow, really effective government -- Angle and Ensign -- throw in Gov Gibbons & we really will be a laughingstock.

                                              I still don't understand this over-the-top hatred of Reid. He's an intelligent, mild-mannered but strongly principled family man who has voted, for the most part, for his constituency instead of pushing his personal agenda, which I respect in a legislator. Aside from all of this name-calling crap, what incites such loathing? He has a high rating from the NRA and vets, and respects a woman's right to choose. What really is the problem?

                                              IF Angle wins in Nevada, it will NOT be about Sharron Angle the Tea Party candidate. Nor will it be about Harry Reid the incumbent candidate. It WILL BE ABOUT KARL ROVE and his obscene right wing conspiracy to use undocumented American and foreign corporate millions to BUY A NEVADA SENATE SEAT.

                                              Boy, that's a good one Karl: the line from this weekend where you impersonate shock and ask if the President "has no shame"? Karl Rove has NEVER had any shame. He would not understand shame if it bit his considerable Republican ass.

                                                Maybe we should not have let South Carolina back into the Union? After all, they elected Strom Thurmond. They first elected him as Senator in 1954, then again and again and again:

                                                But I guess he never felt 'entitled' to the seat? Or did the people of South Carolina elect him time and again because he was a 'welfare elitist'?

                                                  Please make yourself aware of who voted AGAINST the extension of E-Verify, to identify ILLEGAL aliens in the workplace.

                                                  These individuals were elected to represent their LEGAL American constituents. Instead, in their pursuit of votes, they decided to vote in favor of ILLEGAL aliens.

                                                  These individuals allow employers, using our "Stimulus" tax dollars, to hire ILLEGAL aliens working for Lower Wages, who in turn send those same tax dollars OUT of the U.S.

                                                  It is reasonable to assume that these same Senators will vote in favor of giving ILLEGAL aliens complete amnesty.

                                                  The next time you vote, remember the Senator from your state that voted against all LEGAL Americans, like YOU.

                                                  It's time that we vote against politicians that vote in favor of ILLEGAL aliens.

                                                  These Senators are seeking your vote in 2010.

                                                  (1) = Also voted in favor of ObamaCare
                                                  (2) = Also voted in favor of the Bailout
                                                  (3) = Also voted against Arizona's right to enforce immigration laws

                                                  And the source for your Reich-wing propaganda is?

                                                  BTW - Burris is NOT running for election. And Dorgan is NOT running for re-election. Getting your facts correct would probably help your image a bit, or at least make it a bit more difficult to rebut your Reich-wing male bovine droppings.

                                                  52% of respondents said they said they had an unfavorable opinion of Angle, and 54% said the same of Reid.

                                                  This is a poll done by a Boston university. Other polls have Angle slightly ahead of Reid. Any way you spin it, the Majority Leader having such a tough time with a "Tea Party" candidate must disturb the liberals.

                                                    seems the only ones disturbed on this vine are the desperate right who are trying to convince one another that Reid will lose....

                                                    It's too close to call. Good news for an unknown tea party candidate. Bad news for the Senate Majority Leader. It looks like Tom Daschle all over again.

                                                    Consider that a year ago the polls said that ANY GOOPer would have beat Senator Reid by 10 points (at least). Almost everyone had written him off.

                                                    Too bad for the GOOPers that they had to wait a year for the actual election, and then nominated a candidate that gave Senator Reid a very good possibility to win the election.

                                                    Just thinking out loud; wonder if this poll is bogus like other democrat-leaning polls of teh past with more democrats polled than republicans. Nah, the democrats would never do that again; yeah, right.

                                                    If the poll is accurate, it's still bad news for Reid. He hasn't polled over or close to 50% in any polls released in recent weeks. Not a good omen for an incumbent.

                                                    I think you are right. Undecideds normally lean toward the party out of power in the end.

                                                    The wave will blow away the incumbents in these close elections.

                                                    Have all of you that are against the Obama Healthcare plan forgotten how very hard Harry Reid, along with Nancy, fought for this? I haven't!!
