Majority Leader Harry Reid Hits New Low in Nevada Poll
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, January 9, 2010, 10:54 AM
Majority Leader Harry Reid says he won’t step aside like Sen. Chris Dodd despite the fact that more than 50% of Nevadans are unhappy with job he is doing leading democrats ram their radical leftist agenda through the US Senate.
The Review-Journal reported:
More than half of Nevadans are unhappy with Sen. Harry Reid, according to a new poll commissioned by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. It’s the worst “unfavorable” rating he’s received in the newspaper’s surveys for this year’s election, and it comes amid quiet speculation — or perhaps wishful thinking by his opponents — that it’s time for the Nevada Democrat to retire rather than lose re-election.
In response, Reid told the Review-Journal Friday he wouldn’t consider stepping aside as did Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut, whose announcement this week prompted rumors that the Senate majority leader might think about ending his political career now that he’s the most vulnerable incumbent.
“I am absolutely running for re-election,” said Reid, 70, in a statement. “These are difficult times for Nevada and as the majority leader of the Senate I have been able to take action to address those challenges. But I know there is more work to do to turn our state’s economy around and create jobs and I am committed to seeing it through.”
Most independent political analysts firmly discounted the idea that Reid would quit the race, despite poll after poll showing him in a losing battle with potential Republican opponents, who surveys suggest would beat him if the election were held today…
According to the survey:
• 52 percent had an unfavorable opinion of Reid, 33 percent had a favorable view and another 15 percent said they’re neutral. In early December, a Mason-Dixon poll put his unfavorable-favorable rating at 49-38. The lowest Reid’s popularity had slipped before in the surveys was 50 percent — in October, August and May of 2009, when Mason-Dixon started tracking the senate race for the Review-Journal.

Gee, wonder if the Nevadans saw the NPR hit piece.
Ried thinks your not smart enough to take care of yourself. Reid also is sooooo arrogant just like his Master of evil the NOTUS. We surround them and will take them out of office. powder is dry.

Harry Reid hits a new low in Nevada? Hell, the rest of the country has known how low this spitbucket has fallen when he went before the country and declared that the Iraq War “is lost” and the “surge is not accomplishing anything.”

Watch that door on yer way out, Harry. Don’t worry, when you are looking for employment come December 2010, I understand that they are remaking the Underdog cartoon series. You would be perfect for the Wally Cox voice.

You’re mighty free with your blanket condemnation, there.
Might I suggest that you take your own advice to heart.

What’s scary is that 33 percent still have a favorable opinion of this lying turd. They must have union cards in their wallets.

The 15% that polled “neutral” at this time and place in our history are the brain dead. If you are “neutral” you are essentially clueless.

Harry Reid will not need a job after he loses the election. Like the rest of the democrats he became a millionaire on our dime and with our money. The land deals alone will keep him in clover for the rest of his life and will keep his crooked kids’ lives in clover too..
