The new Rasmussen poll of the Nevada Senate race shows Republican nominee Sharron Angle leading Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, in the wake of her big win in Tuesday’s primary.
The numbers: Angle 50%, Reid 39%. The survey of likely voters has a ±4.5% margin of error. In a previous poll from late April, Angle led Reid by 48%-40%. The TPM Poll Average has Angle ahead of Reid by 45.2%-40.5%.
The Democrats plan to take down Angle by playing up her various extreme stances and associations, such as her ties to the Oath-Keepers, her backing of a Scientologist drug rehab program, her opposition to Social Security, etc. But for now, Angle is starting out ahead in the general election.
