Politico has the sum up, and here’s the Rasmussen page. The numbers are kind of a yawn because they haven’t moved. Reid’s at between 39 and 41% against Lowden, Tarkanian, Angle and Krolicki, and each of those candidates (or not-yet-candidates, in K’s case) is within 4 points of one another.
More interesting is all the stuff farther down the page (I bolded the issue on which the largest number of Nevadans seem to be in agreement):
Forty-two percent (42%) of Nevada voters say their finances are good or excellent, while 17% say their finances are poor. But while 26% think their own finances are getting better, 45% say they are getting worse.
Forty-six percent (46%) believe it is possible to balance the federal budget without raising taxes, but 38% disagree.
Fifty-nine percent (59%) favor an across-the-board tax cut for all Americans, while 28% are opposed. Fifty-seven percent (57%) think cutting taxes is a better way to create jobs than increasing government spending. Only 14% say increased spending is a better way to go.
Fifty percent (50%) of voters in Nevada say the United States and its allies are winning the war on terror, but 26% say the terrorists are on top.
Still, voters in the state are pretty pessimistic about how safe it is in America these days. Thirty-six percent (36%) believe the country is safer today than it was before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Forty-nine percent (49%) disagree with that assessment.
Sixty-nine percent (69%) trust the judgment of the American people more than that of the nation’s political leaders when it comes to important national issues. Fourteen percent (14%) trust the leaders’ judgment more.
Seventy-eight percent (78%) in Nevada say the federal government has become a special interest group, while 75% say the government and big business often work together to hurt consumers and investors.
Indicative of this is that while 16% of Nevada voters have a very favorable view of the longtime senator [Reid], 46% regard him very unfavorably.
Twelve percent (12%) have a very favorable view of Lowden, while 11% see her very unfavorably. For Tarkanian, very favorables are 16% and very unfavorables 13%. Angle is regarded very favorably by eight percent (8%) and very unfavorably by 12%.
Fourteen percent (14%) have a very favorable view of Krolicki, and 12% think of him very unfavorably.
At this point in a campaign, Rasmussen Reports considers the number of people with a strong opinion more significant than the total favorable/unfavorable numbers.
Barack Obama won 55% of the vote in Nevada in November 2008. Now 46% of voters in the state approve of how President Obama is performing, with 27% who strongly approve. Fifty-four percent (54%) disapprove of the president’s job performance, including 45% who strongly disapprove. This is a higher level of disapproval than is found nationally in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.
Thirty-nine percent (39%) approve of Republican Governor Jim Gibbons’ job performance, while 59% disapprove.
