The new Mason-Dixon poll of the Nevada Senate race shows a dead-even tie between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his Republican opponent Sharron Angle.
The numbers: Reid 43%, Angle 43%, plus two additional conservative candidates — Tea Party candidate Scott Ashjian, and Independent American Party candidate Tim Fasano — at 1% each. The survey of likely voters has a ±4% margin of error. The previous Mason-Dixon poll from two weeks ago, which did not include Ashjian and Fasano, gave Reid an edge of 46%-44%.
The TPM Poll Average currently puts Reid ahead by 47.2%-44.9%.
From the internals, independents are going to Angle by a 20-point margin. “The independents have shifted to her by the biggest margin since the primary,” Brad Coker of Mason-Dixon told the Las Vegas Review Journal, which commissioned the poll. “If she goes on to win this, maybe this is the first sign that at the end of the day Angle might nose it out.”
