(Angle for Senate campaign)<\/em> – Sharron Angle (R-NV), a former state legislator who leads Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) in the latest polls conducted by Mason-Dixon and Rasmussen, continued strong showings in GOP straw polling being conducted throughout the state by sweeping 100% of the vote in Storey County.<\/p>\n

Angle also finished a close second in the Carson City straw poll, earning two votes less than State Senator Mark Amodei, a Carson City native. Carson City results showed Amodei at 36.5% and Angle at 34.4%. Real estate developer Danny Tarkanian earned 16.1% and former Nevada Republican Chairwoman Sue Lowden earned 8.6%. Another candidate, Bill Parsons, earned 4.3 percent. <\/p>\n

All other candidates received no votes.<\/p>\n

Last weekend\u2019s polling marked the second and third release of straw poll numbers released in Nevada. Angle, known by her constituents as a battle-tested conservative who fought unconstitutional government and run-away taxes, proved victorious in last week\u2019s straw poll in Washoe County by winning handily over all other candidates.<\/p>\n

Angle spokesperson Jerry Stacy said the combined tally of Washoe County, Storey County, and Carson City showed that the energy was clearly on Angle\u2019s side among the party faithful. <\/p>\n

\u201cOf the three counties to release numbers, Mrs. Angle holds an expansive lead at 42.93%, nearly tripling the votes of her nearest rivals,\u201d Stacy noted.<\/p>\n

Angle\u2019s nearest challengers were Lowden and Amodei, both tied at 15.59%. Tarkanian obtained 14.87% of the three combined polls, and all other candidates were at single digits or zero.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to be emphatically clear that Sharron Angle is not resting on her laurels from these straw polls,\u201d Stacy clarified. \u201cThere is certainly a lot of value to be deemed from these straw polls, but the real poll is on Election Day, and I can assure you that Sharron Angle continues to campaign throughout the state as if she was in last place.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
