Rasmussen Poll: Reid Ahead By Three In NV-SEN Race

US Senate candidate Sharron Angle (R-NV) and Senator Harry Reid (D-NV)

The new Rasmussen poll of the Nevada Senate race gives Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid a narrow lead over Republican nominee Sharron Angle.

The initial numbers show the two tied at 45%-45%. After undecided voters were pushed with a follow-up question, 50%-47% including the leaners — an unusual instance of undecideds breaking to the incumbent, though the difference is within the margin of error. The survey of likely voters has a ±4% margin of error.

In the previous Rasmussen poll from two weeks ago, Reid and Angle were tied 47%-47% on the initial question, with Angle taking an edge of 50%-48% with leaners included.

The TPM Poll Average currently puts Reid ahead by 47.6%-44.3%.
