Tomorrow’s edition of the Washington Times will report that Harry Reid’s home-state approval ratings have reached an all-time low.

Mr. Reid, a Democrat, is viewed favorably by 32 percent of Nevada voters and unfavorably by 51 percent, according to a recent poll that Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc. conducted for the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

His favorable rating fell 14 percentage points from 46 percent in a May survey and marked the first time the newspaper’s poll showed more than 50 percent of voters had a negative view of Mr. Reid.

Reid’s reaction? To attack the polling company’s polls and calling them “screwed” up. He also says a poll he conducted found the opposite results. How much credibility does Reid have on having his own polls and sources? I’ll put it this way: Those of us who followed the immigration debate are still waiting to find out more about his “friend Tommy (or Timmy)”.

Larry Harris, a principal at the Washington-based firm that did the poll, said the senator’s low rating followed national trends for Congress.

“We don’t have an ax to grind,” Mr. Harris said. “When we polled his [2004] election, we said he was going to win and he did.”

Ssh! (Whispering) Don’t tell Harry. The inaccuracy claim is his argument, and he’s sticking to it. (/end whispering)
