Seems about right to me. Obama has lost his support in the Silver state, Reid is toast and Gibbons is beyond toast; he won't make it out of the GOP primary even if he tries.
Clearly the hatred the public has is not just for one party, it's for all politicians and especially those who are without morals, conviction and competence like Gibbons.
Going to be a huge change in governors this coming year, but probably an equal number of pickups or a very slight GOP edge. People just hate everyone who is in charge right now.

Hell, if I'm Reid and I'm only -6 in a Rasmussen, I'm pretty satisfied.

I agree. I have seen worse polls for Reid. I think if he can get this healthcare bill passed through Congress it will help fight the perception that he is weak and ineffective.

Wish we can edit posts.

Apparently you haven't seen Rasmussen's 120% of the population poll made famouse by John Stewart.

This race is winnable by Reid. For Ras to report -6 for Reid is impressive.

@Xenobion: That wasn't Rasmussen's fault, though. :)

That wasn't Rasmussen's fault, though. :)
It was caused by over massaging of polls. Everybody knows what Ras has been doing. They have the correct numbers but report different numbers to provide ammunition and talking points to the right wing nutjobs.
