Heller Barely Ahead In Nevada

April 25, 2018 at 11:13 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

A new Nevada Independent/Mellman poll in Nevada shows Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) barely ahead of challenger Jacky Rosen (D), 40% to 39%.

Key finding: “Rosen, who had never held office before her congressional race, lagged Heller significantly in name recognition among poll respondents, with 34% saying they had never heard of her compared to only 8% unfamiliar with him.”

Let me say this,it was a push poll to start with. Second,the comparitory Phrases were so slanted to Heller it would tip any one with half a brain,this was a push poll.

The Polling was ran out of South Dakota State Brookings. And the Polling time started at 4 pm Pacific Time . BTW,that is 6 pm Central time,see the major flaw?



Funny thing,third time I got the same Pollster. And you wonder why I question certain pollsters.

The guy was barely elected last time and is very vulnerable. In the environment he should be down double digits.
