Cook Political Report Names Nevada a Toss-Up

Thursday, 10 September 2009 14:28

Earlier today the well-respected Cook Political Report named the 2010 Nevada Senate race a "toss-up."

Here's a key passage:

If we were skeptical of Reid’s vulnerability at the start of the cycle, we have become increasingly convinced over the last two months or so that he is as endangered as any Democratic incumbent seeking re-election in 2010. Reid’s inability to improve his standing in the polls, coupled with the deteriorating political environment for Democrats nationally and Lowden’s impending entry into the race, are clear indications that his political problems are deep and will be difficult (though not impossible) to fix.  Since the start of the cycle, this race has been in the Likely Democratic column, but we are moving it to Toss Up in anticipation of a very hotly contested—and likely nasty—general election.
