More from that R2K poll of Nevada we released yesterday showing Reid in serious trouble:

            Fav  Unfav

Jim Gibbons  17   61
   Dem        6   81
   Rep       32   36
   Ind       13   63

John Ensign  28   53
   Dem       11   75
   Rep       49   26
   Ind       26   57

Governors all over the country are getting hammered by the bad economy and budget woes, but Gibbons (with investigators swirling all over his office) is in a special kind of pain. 17 percent? That's almost Blagojevich levels.

As for the hypocritical adulterer, who has been going around trying to apologize all over the state, people ain't buying. Less than half of Republicans have a favorable opinion of Ensign, and only a quarter of independents do.

He may think he's running for reelection in 2012, but he won't. He'll suffer the same fate Sen. Jim Bunning did this year -- pushed out by a GOP that'll work hard to dry up his sources of money.
