Playing The Paranoia Angle, Part 7

Harry Reid continues to lead Sharron Angle in Nevada for Senate, this time in a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

The new Reuters/Ipsos poll of the Nevada Senate race gives Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid a narrow lead over his Republican challenger, former state Rep. Sharron Angle -- and a really big lead if turnout were to be higher than currently expected.

The numbers, among likely voters: Reid 48%, Angle 44%. There is no prior Reuters/Ipsos poll for direct comparison. The TPM Poll Average gives Reid a lead of 45.1%-42.7%.

The kicker: Among the larger pool of registered voters, Reid leads by a phenomenal 52%-36%. So clearly, the job for Dem groups is to mobilize voters for Reid -- and against Angle's right-wing positions.

Angle is in increasing amounts of trouble here, and Reid's lead is turning out to be rare good news for the Dems right now.   We'll see if he can hold out:  Angle's increasingly insane positions are making her even more despised than Reid is right now.

She's turning into a primary example of how the Hoffman Effect will limit GOP gains this fall.
