Mason-Dixon Poll: NV (03) Dem gaining ground

[WI_DEM]

Las Vegas Review-Journal/8NewsNow. 9/7-9. Likely voters. MoE 5% (8/15 results)

Dina Titus (D) 47 (43)
Joe Heck (R) 43 (42)


Per Nate Silver's projections, this seat has a 56 percent chance of switching parties, and Titus is certainly among the Democratic incumbents Republicans need to oust in order to take over the House. Yet as these poll numbers show, that's still not an easy slog for Republicans.

Titus' improving numbers come in the heels of a nearly $1 million ad barrage from the Titus campaign and EMILY's List and AFSME -- showing that money can and will still make a difference in these races. And as of now, Democrats still have more of it. Heck's favorabilities went from 35 favorable, 16 unfavorable, to 39/31 -- from +19 to +8. Titus went from 42/44 to 46/41 -- from -2 to +5.

The right-wing Las Vegas Review-Journal does its best to try and spin the results positively for Heck, while taking its shots at Titus. It's clear they didn't like these results. But at least in this little corner of America, things are looking better now than they did a few short months ago.

John Boehner may already be measuring the drapes in the Speaker's office, but he won't get there without winning races like this one.
