More Than Half of Nevada Voters See Harry Reid as Weak Leader

A new poll out today from the "Progressive Change Campaign Committee," a group dedicated to pushing for government-run health insurance, finds that more than half of Nevada voters see Harry Reid as a WEAK leader. Politico’s Glenn Thrush writes: "The poll, which found Reid trailing both of his possible GOP challengers by single digits, was conducted by Research 2000, the same company that polls for the Reno Gazette and Daily Kos. R2000 used person-to-person interviewers with a statewide sample size of 600 voters. The results have a 4 percent margin of error. When voters were asked 'Do you think Harry Reid is a strong leader or a weak leader?', 52 percent said Reid was 'weak.' A dismal 35 percent had a favorable opinion of the majority leader, who is currently struggling to merge competing health care plans produced by a pair of divergent Senate committees. Fifty-four percent rated him 'ineffective.'"
