Senate Majority's Son Way Behind in Run for Governor

Republican frontrunner Brain Sandoval now has an 18-point lead over Democrat Rory Reid in Nevada’s gubernatorial race.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Nevada voters finds Reid, son of Senator Harry Reid, trailing Sandoval 53% to 35%. Seven percent (7%) prefer another candidate, while five percent (5%) are undecided.

Sandoval, a former Nevada attorney general and ex-U.S. District Court Judge, led Reid by 12 points - 45% to 33% - in Rasmussen Reports’ first look at the contest early last month.

Another GOP hopeful, North Las Vegas Mayor Mike Montandon, posts a 42% to 37% lead over Reid. In the previous survey, Reid led Montandon 40% to 36%. Thirteen percent (13%) like some other candidate, and eight percent (8%) are undecided. - Rasmussen Reports Poll
