The new Rasmussen poll has Sharron Angle beating Harry Reid 49-48 percent. In the most recent survey by the same pollster, Angle was up by four percent (50-46).

Neither of these candidates is likely to pull any more than 45 percent of the vote, but the numbers show higher because Rasmussen does not test for third parties or “none of these candidates” which is a ballot choice in Nevada.

In seven consecutive Rasmussen surveys, Reid has been up three times, Angle three times, and they were tied in one.
