Polls that show Reid trailing potential opponents may be of little meaning 11 months before an election — before he has an opponent, much less unleashes the campaign he is preparing. “Right now he’s shadowboxing against himself,” Emanuel told me. That said, it is significant that 52 percent of Nevadans had an unfavorable view of Reid in a poll published by The Las Vegas Review-Journal this month, before the latest controversy broke; and it’s even more significant that that view did not change despite months of sunny Reid campaign advertisements on Nevada television stations. Nate Silver, the political blogger and polling expert, compared Reid’s position in the polls with that of Gov. Jon Corzine of New Jersey last fall; Corzine lost with only 45 percent of the vote. What’s more, one-third of Nevadans eligible to vote in 2010 have registered since 2004, the last time Reid was on the ballot. The electorate he will face this November is entirely different from the one that sent him to the Senate in 1986, a consequence of representing a state that is growing so fast.
