I told you yesterday that the internal numbers in the Rasmussen poll along with the other polling trends are good for Sharron Angle in Nevada.
Well, Mason-Dixon is out now and also happens to be my favorite nonpartisan polling company in America with a high rate of accuracy.
According to Mason-Dixon, Reid is losing ground and Angle is making up ground.
The new survey by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research shows Reid and Angle neck and neck. The Senate majority leader would win 43 percent and Angle 42 percent of support from likely Nevada voters if the election were held now. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points on the statewide telephone survey of 625 registered voters taken Monday through Wednesday.
A July 12-14 Mason-Dixon poll showed Reid 7 points ahead of Angle, 44-37. It was the best showing for the four-term incumbent — and the worst for Angle — in a head-to-head matchup, according to a series of surveys for the Review-Journal since last year.
Again, Reid spent ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS to define and attack Sharron Angle. After all that money, Angle is a point or two behind with Reid unable to make up the ground.
Angle will be fine.
Now, a word about Base Connect.
A couple of weeks ago I discovered Sharron Angle was using Base Connect. I relayed my concerns and the concerns of a number of other conservatives to her campaign, which was unaware of the issues. I believe the campaign is resolving those issues and I am not troubled by the reports.
Sharron Angle has a top notch finance director now who is going to let anyone or any group consume campaign resources needlessly. I think this is a nonissue.

rdelbov Friday, July 30th at 10:22AM EST (link)its hard to poll the passion in Nevada. There 3 to 5 thousand committed teaparty volunteers in Nevada. Think Amway pyramid with the trickle down effect of these involved people as the message spreads through friends-family-coworkers-neighbors.
Its hard to poll this type of passion and personal push.
I hope you are right....
annas Friday, July 30th at 10:32AM EST (link)We should be WAY ahead in Nevada with a scumbag like Reid being the Democrat choice (not points behind)!
Angle is Okay...
ffc99 Friday, July 30th at 11:04AM EST (link)That’s hardly a ringing endorsement of the state of her campaign… Let’s face it, Angle is a very poor candidate who appears to be in way over her head. Now given the national political climate and the fact that she is running against the very unpopular Harry Reid, she could very well win this race. But it’s going to take a lot more resources than it should and the result will be way too close for comfort.
Oh, Shut It (nt)
IJB Friday, July 30th at 11:57AM EST (link)You...
ffc99 Friday, July 30th at 12:07PM EST (link)really do provide intelligent commentary and insight here at RS, don’t you? To be fair, it would have been hard for you to disagree with anything I said in my post, because it’s all true.
ffc99, Let's try not to damage our own candidate ok?
Aaron Gardner (Diary) Friday, July 30th at 12:17PM EST (link)There was a primary. Angle won. Support her, or remain silent.
conform and celebrate diversity….or else!!!

One or the other. Seriously.

I'll Tell You Why ffc99 Is Here...
IJB Friday, July 30th at 12:27PM EST (link)He/she/it is here to talk down every conservative candidate we’ve got.
It’s clear from my previous reading of ffc99′s posts that he/she/it is one of these moderate Republicans(maybe?…) who would love to see conservative Republicans lose general elections to strengthen the moderates’ hand in the party.
Of course, ffc99 isn’t going to offer anything constructive on something like Angle’s campaign – ffc99 wants her to lose!…
Well you must be NV version of a Debra Medina voter
Richard Mullins (Diary) Friday, July 30th at 12:29PM EST (link)yeah, don’t support the winner and knock him down(or in NV-Sen Her down). Angle won and all that matters. It’s either her or Boss Reid(I like term better than Dingy Harry) and I don’t you want to have Boss Reid around right, so start acting like a good guy and support the winner of the primary.

I Suspect It Had More To Do With M-D's Last Poll Being an Outlier
IJB Friday, July 30th at 11:59AM EST (link)Though the salient point, in *both* polls, is Reid’s number – if he’s stuck at 43-44%, he’s TOAST.
It’s just that simple, really…
