Majority of Nevadans Support a Public Option

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV)

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid may be in jeopardy of losing his seat in Nevada–but it’s not because of his stance on health care reform.

A new Research 2000 poll commissioned by Daily Kos finds that, by a significant margin of 52-40, Nevadans favor creating a public option.

As with almost all of these polls, the findings are extremely polarized, with a huge majority of Democrats in favor of creating a government run health insurance plan, and a huge majority of Republicans opposing it.

Reid has said he’s in favor of creating a public option that would be administered by a private entity.
