NV-Sen: Razor-Thin Race

A new Mason-Dixon poll shows that all hope is not lost for Sen. Harry Reid (D), who was essentially left for dead a few months ago.

In the Republican primary, the poll finds Sue Lowden edging Sharron Angle 30% to 29%, with Danny Tarkanian picking up 23%.

In general election match-ups, Lowden leads Reid 42-39, Tarkanian leads 42-41, but Angle trails Reid 42-39.

This confirms why Reid is more bullish on the prospect of facing Angle, who is much more conservative than her primary opponents, in the general election.

Angle has been gaining momentum for the last month partly due to her Tea Party supporters, while Lowden--who would be Reid' s strongest challenger--has been losing steam due to a series of minor gaffes.

This poll is the first glimmer of hope for Reid that he could actually win re-election in a very long time.
