Don’t look now, but conservative former state Assemblywoman Sharron Angle may be overtaking her GOP primary opponents in the race to take on Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid:
Angle has conservative street cred, and it’s reflected in the latest Review-Journal-sponsored statewide survey conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research. In the Republican primary contest, Angle has risen to second place with 25 percent, [Sue] Lowden is first with 30 percent, and [Danny] Tarkanian continues to fade with 22 percent. The poll has a margin of error of 4.5 percentage points, meaning Lowden and Angle are neck and neck.
The latest Rasmussen poll shows Angle with a 48-40 lead over Reid in a hypothetical general election matchup. With early voting beginning May 22, and recent stumbles by Lowden, the matchup could become more than hypothetical.
Election Day in Nevada is June 8.
