Obama's Vegas Visit Does Little for Reid's Popularity, Poll Shows

There's no Obama bump for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

A poll conducted for the Las Vegas Review-Journal showed President Obama's visit to Nevada two weeks ago had a negligible effect on Reid's poll numbers.

Though the president spent time praising Reid effusively for his leadership, 75 percent of those surveyed said the visit would not affect how they vote.

Of those who might be swayed, more respondents said they'd be more inclined to vote against Reid than for him. Seventeen percent said the visit made them less likely to vote for Reid, while just 7 percent said the visit made them more likely to vote for him.

The Mason-Dixon poll of 625 likely state voters, conducted Monday through Wednesday, had a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
