Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid continues to find himself behind in the polls as he seeks a fifth term representing Nevada in the Senate and perhaps another session of Congress as the Democratic leader. A new Rasmussen survey (Feb. 2, 500 LV, MoE +/- 4.5%) finds him trailing four potential GOP foes by as many as 8 points and garnering no more than 41% support.

Tested against Reid were: Sue Lowden, Danny Tarkanian, Sharon Angle and Brian Krolicki.

Lowden 45 - Reid 39 - Und 8

Tarkanian 47 - Reid 39 - Und 6

Angle 44 - Reid 40 - Und 8

Krolicki 44 - Reid 41 - Und 8

Lowden leads Reid by 8.8 points in the RCP Average, and Tarkanian leads by 8.7 points.

President Obama receives a 46% job approval rating in Nevada, with 54% disapproving. Meanwhile, 55% have an unfavorable view of Reid, including 46% very unfavorable.
