You read stories like this one in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, and you start to get the notion that Nevadans don’t really like Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid:

Republican Sue Lowden would defeat incumbent Democratic Sen. Harry Reid by 6 percentage points in a head-to-head matchup, according to a poll of likely Nevada voters.
Unfortunately for Reid-bashers, Lowden isn’t running — at least not yet.
On Monday, Lowden supporters, including political strategist Robert Uithoven, disclosed the results of a poll commissioned as part of an effort to persuade the Nevada Republican Party chairwoman to run, especially if Rep. Dean Heller, R-Nev., decides not to challenge Reid.

Perhaps most astoundingly, in a sample with more Democrats than Republicans, just 39 percent viewed Reid favorably, and 34 percent said they would vote to reelect him.
