Another Democrat Biting the Dust? Sen. Harry Reid’s Nevada Reelection in Serious Trouble
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on September 25, 2009
In Nevada, the Battle Born State, it looks like Sen. Harry Reid is facing his own doomed battle… reelection.
From Rasmussen Reports: Election 2010: Nevada Senate Race
In what is currently a difficult political climate for Democrats, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid trails two potential Republican challengers seeking to unseat him as he faces reelection next year in Nevada.
The first Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of the 2010 race shows Sue Lowden beating Reid by 10 percentage points, 50% to 40%. Lowden is chairwoman of the Nevada Republican Party and the preferred candidate of the Republican party establishment.
GOP hopeful Danny Tarkanian beats Reid by seven points, 50% to 43%. Tarkanian is a former basketball player for the University of Nevada-Las Vegas and the son of a legendary college basketball coach.
Any incumbent who polls below the 50% level is considered potentially vulnerable, and Reid is clearly in that category.
