NV-Gov: Sandoval Poised to Win

A new poll from Mason-Dixon finds former federal judge Brian Sandoval (R) all-but-certain to unseat sitting Gov. Jim Gibbons (R) in Tuesday's Republican primary.

Sandoval leads Gibbons 47% to 33%, with North Las Vegas Mayor Mike Montandon (R) only picking up 6%. This poll actually shows a smaller lead for Sandoval compared with other recent surveys.

Gibbons has been embattled with a series of corruption scandals and extrimaritial accusations for the past year, and fares especially poorly among GOP women voters.

The winner will face Rory Reid (D), Harry's son, in the general election. Sandoval is considered to be the much stronger general election candidate, as he has much less baggage than Gibbons.
