A new poll shows Republican Joe Heck leading Democratic incumbent Rep. Dina Titus by 3 percentage points in Nevada's 3rd Congressional District.
Heck also beat Titus 57-33 among independent voters.
Six percent of voters said they were undecided on whom to vote for, so the race ultimately could swing toward either candidate. Early voting starts in less than two weeks.
The poll was conducted by Penn Schoen Berland for The Hill/ANGA (America's Natural Gas Alliance).
A majority of polled voters (71 percent) said they disapprove of the job Congress is doing.
Less than half (40 percent) approve of President Barack Obama, and most (65 percent) said that would affect how they vote in these mid-term elections.
A total of 57 percent of respondents said they think the health care reform bill should be repealed.
The Hill/ANGA polled voters in 12 congressional districts represented by freshman Democrats. In all but one race, Republicans had the lead. Poll results were tied for candidates in Michigan's 7th Congressional District.
Nevada NEEDS Titus! She is a proven public servant, accessible to her constituents. Do you really think Heck will look out for your best interests? We can't afford to lose Dina. Remember when our state elected Jim Gibbons to be governor instead of Dina? Look what that got us.
Interestingly, 3/4 of the top contributors to Heck's campaign are national lobbying organizations or PAC's, while vast majority of Titus biggest contributors are all in-state organizations. Hard to concluded that Heck will see Nevada as his top priority assuming he will, like most politicians, want to get funding for his next campaign.
Yes Angle is ahead in one poll from FOX, lol. You sound just like gbigs.
Is the democrat party still legal in america? Its amazing how many in the party embrace avowed communist, racist, socialist and third world hate america clowns. Not all democrats think this way but they have lost control of their party to the extreme left fringe. Obama is destroying this party with the help of the Reid/Pelosi hate Bush crowd. So sad
You think Obama has hurt Titus.....Who hasn't he hurt.......TAKE A LOOK AT OUR COUNTRY!!!!
november-red; you say Obama/Reid/Pelosi are "extreme left fringe"? How about ultra-extreme rightwing fringe candidates the Republican Tea Party is pushing this election cycle? Sharron Angle who wants to privitize my VA and says that a woman pregnant by rape or incest should be forced to bear the results of that vile act because "it's God's plan for her". Or Christine O'Donnell who is so damaged that she can't escape the idiotic statements she has made in the past or even recently. Witchcraft? Melding mice and human brains? She has classified information proving that China is trying to take over the US, but she can't tell us who told her that? Really. Rand Paul who wants to set racial relations progress back 40 years? Talk about extremes. So sad, indeed.
ldribbler=gbigs, same writing style, same repitition, same absences of any facts, same reliance on Rasmussen, same absence of trusted commenter status. He'll be banned under this name soon again.
This "extreme left fringe" inherited a stock market that was in the midst of a 50% decline in the NASDAQ (or more depending on which index you use) from 2400 and change between September 2008 March 2009 and in little more than a year brought back the NASDAQ back to 2400 yesterday. While GDP is growing and the market is in the midst of a strong rally, business owners are choosing to refrain from rehiring despite the level of business activity cultivated by this "extreme left fringe".
I fully expect gbigs, oops I mean ldribbler, to say that the recession in place when Obama took office was his fault and the recovery should be credited to Bush for having the forces for recovery fully set before he left office.
LV Rider...the stock market is rallying for only one reason...becasue the newly created 877 million dollars printed for stimulous, a fed balance sheet that Bernanke says is now unlimited and is willing to start buying all assets in order to keep the economy from falling into depression...yes the dems can take credit for that...incentives need to be made for entrprenuers to take risks, use their own capital and start businesses...this is our only hope...not government printing money and handing it out
I can't believe this far left wing wacko ever got elected in the first place. Only in a year where Obamamania had coattails long enough for the unapologetic Queen of Welfare State to tag along.
Titus is a scaredy cat puppet of Obama. She loves to claim she is independent and thinks things through. IT'S A LIE!
She made her bed, hopefully HICK WILL WIN! And the kind of worthless pawn that she is, is GONE FROM CONGRESS FOREVER!
Come on Heck beat taxus....
Oh boo hoo for Dina Titus. EVERY Democrat's approval rating reflects on Dina Titus and NO ONE should vote for her. She's the reason your phone rings every day with telemarketers from Nevada. Thank you for selling the DMV's entire database to these people, Dina. I hope you enjoy your retirement!
These greedy, low-life republicans don't know
what they're talking about.
Dina Titus is doing a great job.
The majority of Navadans are low wage workers.
You would be out of your minds to vote for a rich,
greedy republican.
Greedy republicans broke the middle class.
START THINKING, PEOPLE.
to Liveand let live:
Nevada doesn't need the likes of Titus voting against what the majority wants. She forgets she was "hired" by CD3 constituents( which, by the way, she doesn't even LIVE in CD 3- she just wants to tell you how to live, yet refuses to live along side of us). Now try to stay with me on this analogy...She is a public servant to be sure, on OUR payroll. Yet she goes her own way, disregarding the wishes of her employers, i,.e. US! Her healthcare vote (against our wishes) will cost somewhere close to 2 trillion dollars. In any other workplace, she would be fired for insubordinate behavior, and be forced to pay back to money she cost the employer (us). Now she is asking us, her employers, to send her back to Washington to do more damage. If you have any sense at all, you would clearly see this is just plain crazy!
She contributed to the mess of our 'compnay" (the US) and instead of addressing how she will clean up the mess SHE helped to create, she hits Heck with slam after slam of FALSE negative ads to divert attention from her insubordinate behavior. And she wants us (her employers) to let her continue to work for us? When did she start working FOR us? Seems like it has always been against us. She needs to be fired, just like you would do in any other place of business where the employee has done a disservice to the company and cost it money.
Talk about forgetting who butters your bread! How completly arrogant of her.
