The new Rasmussen poll of the Nevada Senate race gives Republican Sharron Angle a one-point edge against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
The numbers: Angle 49%, Reid 48%. The survey of likely voters has a ±4% margin of error. In the previous Rasmussen poll from last week, Angle had a slightly wider lead of 50%-46%.
The pollster’s analysis points out the consistent closeness of this race: “In seven consecutive surveys, both candidates have seen their level of support generally in the upper forty’s and both have touched the 50% mark but never topped it. In those seven surveys, Reid has held the edge three times, Angle three times and they were tied at 48% in one. Neither candidate has held a lead outside the margin of sampling error.”
The TPM Poll Average now has Reid and Angle at a dead-even tie –Â 47.6%-47.6%.
