Can’t get much worse than this:
As you may know, Harry Reid is up for re-election in 2010. Do you think he should be the Democratic nominee again or is it time for someone new to represent Democrats?
26% He should be the nominee, 39% Time for someone new
That’s gonna leave a mark – now, the problem is that the two best-known GOPers in the race (Lowden and Tarkanian) only poll 47% and 46%, respectively, against Harry Reid. This is good in that they both beat Reid in the polling, bad that they aren’t 10-20 percentage points ahead. Reid is the most beatable Democrat out there – but the relative weakness of the two leading GOPers shows the need for a fresh approach. Better for an outsider to be the nominee – someone not tied to the old politics.
