NEVADA U.S. SENATE POLL: Reid hits new low in poll - News - ReviewJournal.com

While he still has some dignity remaining Reid should do a Dodd and decide to spend more time with his family. There's no way he wins re-election.

Lowden could beat Reid. She has the money and the organization. OTOH, Angle and Tarkanian would get clobbered by Reid, despite the polls. Lowden's problem is mending fences with libertarian Ron Paul folks after she pulled an incredibly undemocratic maneuver, shutting down the state GOP convention in order to "appoint" delegates to the 2008 national GOP convention. Many libertarian-leaning Republicans will not easily forget how Lowden shut them out from the standard practice of having GOP state convention delegates directly elect national delegates. Perhaps one third or more of state GOP delegates supported Ron Paul and not John McCain.

Tarkanian is a political neophyte with good name identification from this UNLV basketball-coach dad, Jerry Tarkanian. Once he starts opening his mouth, however, Danny's numbers drop. BTW, Danny's mother, Lois Tarkanian, is a Democratic Las Vegas City councilwoman.

Try as she has many times, Angle never wins anything but her Nevada Assembly seat. As a northern Nevada pol, she will have little appeal to the 70% of voters in southern Nevada.

Part of the problem with the polls is that people are disappointed in Reid for different reasons. There is your typical Republican/Tea Party type that votes against anything Democratic/progressive. There is also a large component of liberals who find him to be too timid/conservative.

If it were not for the filibuster problem (I wish they would abolish it), I would also vote against Reid just so that someone more politically forceful/savvy like Senator Chuck Schumer of New York would become Senate majority leader.

"That's what the Reid camp is counting on. The November election is 10 months out, which may give the senator's expected $25 million-fueled campaign time to sell him to Nevadans again ." (same link as OP)

Nevadans are US citizens, too. It's not just Harry Reid, and their Nevada interests they are voting for or against but the Senate Majority Leader that impacts them on national issues like every other person living in this country.
