All of a sudden, Catherine Cortez Masto jumps into the lead in Nevada - DailyKOS

Until recently, most polls of the Nevada Senate race showed Republican Joe Heck with a small but consistent lead over Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto. But last week, two Democratic surveys (one from PPP and another from Clarity Campaign Labs) gave Cortez Masto a small edge, though a GOP poll had Heck up 47-44. And now, over the last few days three more polls have dropped, and they show the contest no worse than tied for Team Blue.

A CBS/YouGov poll has the Senate contest deadlocked 39-39, while Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump 46-40 in the Silver State. However, YouGov says that the undecideds in the Senate race favor Clinton 47-30, so Cortez Masto ought to have more room to grow. Meanwhile, a poll from a Republican pollster, JMC Analytics, conducted for Las Vegas' CBS affiliate, has Cortez Masto up 41-36 as Clinton leads 43-41. Very few polls have shown Cortez Masto running ahead of Clinton, but a CNN/ORC survey finds a similar result as JMC. Their poll has Cortez Masto up 52-45, while Clinton leads just 46-44 with likely voters. - DailyKOS

It would be awesome to retain Harry Reid's seat. GOTV!!!

I don't.

I hope Nevada voters send Catherine Cortez Masto to the U.S. Senate. I think they'd be extremely well represented if they did.

538 is suggesting a possible 7 senate seat gain and this would make that a full 7, not 6...that would be incredible.

we have yet to see Harry out campaigning for anyone of his hand selected candidates. In all of our phone banking,our feed back has been over whelming in favor of Hillary and Masto. Had only one contact that was a Trump turd,asked why he was a registered Dem,well,he thought Hillary was a Crook,had zero idea what Trump was all about. But that is life.
