In case there was any doubt that Sharron Angle's surge in the GOP Senate primary in Nevada was complete, Mason-Dixon (for the LVRJ) weighs in with numbers very similar to Suffolk and R2K's results from late last week. Mason-Dixon's poll from the previous week had given a one-point lead to Sue Lowden, but she's losing ground as fast as Angle is gaining it. Lowden has also lost ground vis-a-vis Harry Reid, now losing to Reid, while Angle is now a few points ahead of Reid instead of trailing. I'm not sure whether to attribute this movement in the primary more to Angle finally being rescued from obscurity by attracting the attention of the Club for Growth and Tea Party Express, or Lowden's series of self-induced implosions; it's all a rich tapestry.

Mason-Dixon for the Las Vegas Review-Journal (6/1-3, likely voters, 5/10-11 for primary trendlines, 4/5-7 for general trendlines):

Brian Sandoval (R): 47 (45)
Jim Gibbons (R-inc): 33 (27)
Mike Montandon (R): 6 (6)
Other: 1 (1)
None: 1 (NA)
Undecided: 12 (21)
(MoE: ±4.5%)

Rory Reid (D): 37 [35]
Brian Sandoval (R): 51 [50]
Other: 1 [NA]
None: 1 [NA]
Undecided: 10 [15]

Rory Reid (D): 44 [42]
Jim Gibbons (R-inc): 38 [40]
Other: 2 [NA]
None: 5 [NA]
Undecided: 11 [18]
(MoE: ±4%)

Mason-Dixon has been a little inconsistent with when they poll what, so the trendlines for the primary don't match the general election trendlines. At any rate, there's not much change here, other than some last-minute progress for Jim Gibbons out of the "undecided" column that looks like too little, too late for the deeply unpopular governor. Brian Sandoval looks poised to win the GOP primary, which is bad news for Reid the Younger, who beats Gibbons almost as easily as he loses to Sandoval.
