An absolutely fantastic result via a PPP poll conducted for the League of Conservation Voters. Here's a snippet from Jon Ralston:
President Obama is stretching his lead to 9 percentage points in Nevada and Rep. Shelley Berkley is up 4 over Sen. Dean Heller in a new Public Policy Polling survey taken for the League of Conservation Voters.
The survey, which you can see below and was taken last week of 501 likley voters, shows Obama up 52-43 and Berkley up 48-44. Those numbers are even greater for the president than other public polls and Berkley's lead will come as a surprise considering other results.
Now the presidential result is no huge news, although it's nice to see the President's margin expand. But the key point is that we're continuing to see the benefits downticket, as this is the best result for Shelley Berkley I recall seeing. It seems as though yet another pick-up opportunity in the Senate is inching our way.
