The new Fox News poll of the Nevada Senate race shows Republican Sharron Angle holding a narrow edge over Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

The numbers: Angle 49%, Reid 47%. The survey of likely voters has a ±3% margin of error. In the previous Fox poll from last week, Angle led by 49%-46%.

The poll also shows Reid with an approval rating of only 40%, with 55% disapproval, and a personal favorable-unfavorable rating of 42%-56%. On the other hand, Angle’s favorables are even worse, at 36%-58%.

As Fox’s analysis points out: “Thirty five percent of all those surveyed said they decided their vote based on disliking the other candidate more than their own.”

The TPM Poll Average gives Reid a narrow margin of just 47.4%-47.0%.
