The Good news about any poll that has Obama leading in Nevada is...

that given the unemployment rate in the state, by rights, he shouldn't be:

"The Silver State has the highest unemployment rate in the nation at 12.1 percent while the national rate just dipped to 7.8 percent."

Yet more than one recent poll, including SUSA has him leading narrowly. This tells me that the president has a great deal of personal appeal and many people believe that even though there is a long way to go he has begun us on the path to recovery. That bodes well for him. And, despite the debate, Mittens is still unlikeable.
