Rory Reid for Governor (NV)

Rory Reid

Rory Reid grew up in Nevada public schools, where his three children still attend, and he has made strengthening schools a focal point of his campaign, because he believes that education is the key to a strong economy. As the current Chairman of one of the largest county governments in the nation, Rory Reid is responsible for a budget larger than the state's general fund. Over the past seven years Rory has balanced the county's budget while never raising taxes, and has created a thriving rainy day fund. Rory has led efforts to crack down on lobbying, prevent conflicts of interest, and eliminate gifts to elected officials, leading The Las Vegas Review-Journal to label him as "ethical to a fault."

National Polling Summary

Welcome to the Anzalone Liszt Research National Polling Summary, a quick look at national public polls detailing key political environmental measures as well as attitudes of voters on the pressing issues of the week.


A Gallup poll last week reported that President Obama's favorability numbers are currently at pre-healthcare reform levels. Likewise, more Americans are stating they are willing to give healthcare reform (and the candidates who support it) a chance to work.
 
Some new poll numbers this week on the effects of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico show that over seventy-three percent now believe that the spill is a "major disaster," up from fifty-five percent in early May.

We hope you enjoy!
