Nevada Senate: Heck (R) 44%, Cortez Masto (D) 40%
Republican Joe Heck has pulled slightly further ahead of Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto in the race to replace retiring U.S. Senator Harry Reid in Nevada.
A KTNV-TV 13 Action News/Rasmussen Reports telephone and online survey of Likely Nevada Voters shows Heck with 44% support to Cortez Masto’s 40%. The two were nearly even in late July just after the Democratic National Convention. Heck held a 46% to 37% lead in our first look at the race earlier that month. Now six percent (6%) prefer some other candidate, while 11% remain undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
