Nevada Senate race

Odds aren’t looking good for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who will seek a fifth term this November. His favorability rating has dropped to 33 percent, and when put up against his Republican challengers, he has lost in almost every poll taken since last July. Reid hasn’t always been beloved of enviros — he’s a big backer of the mining industry, for one — but he’s gotten props for working to push through a climate and energy bill over the past year, and the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund is backing his campaign this year.  As for his top two GOP competitors, who will duke it out in a June 8 primary, Sue Lowden says a cap-and-trade system would “permanently cripple our economy, kill jobs and force businesses to move out of our country for good,” while Danny Tarkanian has yet to make clear his position on climate and energy legislation.
