CNN/Time Polls: Angle Surges, Colorado Senate Close
Republican Sharron Angle has surged to a four point lead in the Nevada Senate race, leading Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) 49 percent to 45 percent, according to new polling.
The CNN/Time poll, released Wednesday, is particularly striking because it is the first public, live caller poll conducted in the Senate race in about two weeks. In previous polls, Reid and Angle had been in a statistical dead heat.
The poll is a sign that with one week to go, Angle appears to have the momentum.
The TIME/CNN poll also surveyed several other Senate battlegrounds, and found some other notable findings. In the Colorado Senate race, Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) has nearly erased his months-long deficit to Republican Ken Buck, trailing only 47 to 46 percent.
Other results from the Time/CNN polls mirror other recent surveys. Rep. Joe Sestak still trails former GOP Rep. Pat Toomey by four points -- 49 percent to 45 percent - but is within striking distance.
In California, Sen.Barbara Boxer (D) is leading former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina (R) by five points -- 50 percent to 45 percent. In the California governor's race, former Gov. Jerry Brown (D) is up seven points on former eBay CEO Meg Whitman (R), 51 percent to 44 percent.
And in the Kentucky Senate race, Republican Rand Paul holds a comfortable seven-point lead, 50 to 43 percent, over Attorney General Jack Conway (D).
All of the surveys were conducted Oct. 20 to 26 and had a margin of error of +/- 3.5 percent among likely voters.
