Reid-Angle Race All Tied Up
CNN
Paul Steinhauser – September 15, 2010



A new poll indicates that the bitter campaign battle in Nevada between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Republican challenger Sharron Angle is deadlocked.
Highlights:

- Sampling error = +/- 3.5% pts.

- Reid has an advantage among women while Angle leads among men.

- 5% support Scott Ashjian, who's running as a Tea Party candidate but who is shunned by many in the grassroots conservative moment

- 11% say they are voting for none of the candidates listed.

- Angle: 7-pt advantage among independents.

- The survey also suggests a strong gender divide.
"The traditional gender gap has always meant that men favor Republicans and women favor Democrats, and it looks like that pattern is emerging in Nevada despite the fact that the Republican is a woman and the Democrat is a man," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Nevada voters are motivated more by traditional partisan differences rather than identity politics."

The CNN/Time/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted September 10-14, with 789 likely voters questioned by telephone.
