2. Still very bad news for Reid. When the incumbent is that far below 50% it means trouble.

3. True but he's been trailing all potential Republican candidates until this poll.

Over the past few weeks he has been steadily gaining, narrowing the gap on all, and has now pulled ahead. This is a vast improvement over the past year.

4. Not bad news. Good news. The trend is in the right direction and there's plenty of time

before the election.
