The Rasmussen poll you cite is encouraging. I have to say though that I’m taken aback by the Maxon-Dixon polls sudden drop for Angle. I doubt they’ve changed their polling methods from their previous recent polls so for me this is cause for concern.
I made this point some time back, but it still holds true. Repubs and Conservatives have been handed this election on a silver platter with all the crap the DIMs have done. The anger and hostility is very present, but it’s mostly ‘unfocused’. This is the Repubs election to lose. The DIMs will pull out the same playbook they always have. Repubs do themselves a huge, huge disservice if they think they can sit on their hands and let voter apathy alone carry them over the finish line. The mob is fickle, and the middle is mushy. Don’t think because Reid is extremely unpopular that he can’t win. Reid is doing what Angle should have and should be doing, steering the debate. I don’t care if there are still three months to go, Angle and her team need to get off their asses and go to work.
Some funny business going here.

Yes.
Which is why, October will be the month to get out of the stock market for the next 2~3 years.
People that actually work for a living are on vacation and unavailable to answer pollsters.
ANY data taken during this time of year is notoriously unreliable. Don't forget, that many polling calls come in to unoccupied residences or the call is answered by a student, home from College or high school.
Not only that, there are huge volumes of Liberals out of work in Nevada who are just staying at home, drawing Reid bribe money. (unemployment)
Not only that!
The liberals are pulling out all the stops.
Don't believe it....forge ahead even stronger Tea Party.
The polls like this are self-reinforcing, if he wins by a single vote it will be spun as a complete repudiation of the Tea Party and conservatism.
And the zombie voters will conform.
Just aother influential poll trying to discourage the voters. Some even speak from the grave. See Charlotte McCourt’s obituary in the Las Vegas Review Journal. Just Google “Charlotte McCourt obituary Las Vegas”. Says so much about how the locals feel about Harry Reid.
Mason Dixon had Reid +3 over Angle on 5/24 - 5/26, close to the same time that Research 2000 had Reid +6 and the Las Vegas Review had Angle +3. Mason Dixon and Research 2000 are the ONLY polls I could find that EVER showed Reid with a lead.
Sharron Angle is right up there with Mark Kirk and Rand Paul. All three are lousy candidates — who could lose what were layups at one time.
Only the GOP!
Its called, “dispirit the opposition”. The only game the’ve got is to game the system. The system? Fickle’d voters. Who are the fickle’d voters? Independents mostly. The last thing an independent wants, is to be labeled an extremist or worse, a racist. The independent mostly wants to be thought a pragmatist, someone who thinks deeply about an issue and tries to see all sides... they eventually come down on the side of populism or the side which seems to be winning. So if the opposition, which now contains more independent voters than once voted for the party in power, can be painted as extreme, then independents will shift to avoid the label, leaving the opposition in the lurch.
Even if the numbers don’t shift that much, it is enough to jolt the opposition and cause them to be dispirited. The hope is to dampen the intensity level and cause some voters to give up and go home. All you gotta do is keep that billboard in mind, Obama, Hitler and Stalin, Democratic Socialism is where we are now headed... is that where you want to end up?
And that will only further the decline of Liberalism and the laimstream media. I've never seen people as riled as they are now. People I've known for 30 years who haven't ever been remotely interested in politics are riled beyond belief. The Dims have jumped the shark big time. The dog and pony show they and groups like the NAALCP been putting on for decades is finally ringing hollow with the masses. The real question is whether or not it's too late to save the Republic.
Then I guess dingy has to lose.
“Not only that, look at RCP averages. Rasmussen has been one of the best for quite some time.”
Don’t forget Survey USA, their State by State polls are very accurate, they and Ras were right on the money in the 2009 VA governor’s race.
To me, this is the most disturbing part of the article:
“Among Republicans, 81 percent to 70 percent”
I can’t believe 19 percent of Republicans didn’t support her to begin with, but now an additional 11% are being duped by this corrupt thug’s organization?
Truly they are not Republicans to begin with!
She’ll need a good 10 point lead to overcome the corrupt/fraud/union vote.
Well sure they are. It's the "Band Wagon Effect". But it's still a legitimate problem. Everybody on this thread might differ to some extent on the legitimacy of this poll but we are all united in wanting to see Harry Reid out of office.
No one seems to be focusing on the fact that Harry has money pouring in from leftist sources throughout the Country. I am most concerned about the phoney votes, felon votes, and all the crooked ways the Dems “win”. Just look at Al Franken.
This means it’s time to open the wallets and send money to Angle.
