This is just pathetic and should be a wake up call to our milquetoast ineffective majority "leader", and I use that term loosely.
This is hardly a surprising poll. Reid has been a republicrat for quite some time now, someone who always says they "don't have the votes" instead of trying to get them. It's even worse to do that in a time when you're supposed to be passing legislation 75% of Americans support.
The dogmatic Republican base will always hypocritically love Ensign, as shown by his 38% approval rating, likely consisting mostly of the GOP mouth breathing "base". And, like loyal stooges, they all hate Reid just because he has a "D" next to his name, they're too stupid to realize he's the best thing they have going for them in the entire government right now.
And I highly doubt Nevada Democrats and Independents, the ones that ELECTED OBAMA IN A LANDSLIDE, are very pleased with Reid undermining him. Reid has been nervous about his re-election, and thought he could do better by acting like a Republican. Obama's Nevada results shows he needs to do the opposite, show some spine, and act like a Democrat with principles.
All the insurance lobby money in the world won't help you if your constituents don't like you, Harry.
