Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) holds a seven-point lead over Republican challenger Sharron Angle in a poll released Friday. The Las Vegas Review-Journal/Mason-Dixon poll shows that, if the election were held today, Reid would defeat Angle 44-37 percent. Ten percent of respondents were undecided and five percent did not choose a candidate.
Reid's lead comes after a week in which he slammed the Tea Party-backed Angle in a new television ad. The ad alleges that Angle would have opted to kill jobs in Las Vegas by killing a large construction project, and says she is too extreme.
