GIVE 'EM HECK, JOE:

NV-03: What The Heck? (Tim Sahd, 12/06/09, Hotline)

In another sign that the environment has tilted away from Dems, a new poll out today shows Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) tied with ex-state Sen. Joe Heck (R) in the Las Vegas suburbs. [...]

[T]his is the type of seat where Dems should still have an advantage. Pres. Obama easily won it with 55%, and Dems had been counting on the increased interest generated by the '08 WH primary to cement their hold on the CD. Indeed, the Third now has a clear, 33K Dem voter-registration advantage. Just two years ago, the parties were at parity in those numbers.

The poll suggests that the recent health care bill has hurt Titus' position, as 47% of respondents say they disapproved of her vote, while only 41% approved of it.
