Excellent news on the polling front just a couple of days before election day. A new poll of 400 likely voters by Research 2000 for the Reno Gazette-Journal shows Jill Derby closing the gap:
Dean Heller 47%
Jill Derby 44%
MoE +/- 5%
This is the best poll result thus far for the Democrat this campaign season. Earlier Research 2000 polls showed her down by 7 and 5 points, respectively. Two other “polls” by Mason Dixon for the LVRJ showed Heller with a larger lead but are basically worthless because of a ridiculously low sample size.
For an incumbent being below 50 percent is always dangerous and being just three percentage points ahead of his challenger makes Dean Heller very vulnerable. Looks like Paul Begala was quite right on CNN the other day when he called this race “dead even.”
This race is really as close as they get and these final days every single dollar will count. Please help Jill Derby if you can!

And finally gives her some help. Heller has been below 50 in all three R2K polls, so he has not be able to fully close the deal.
