Poll: Angle, Reid tied at 43

The first poll to include all the minor contenders shows that the little guys aren't having much impact in the race between Sharron Angle and Harry Reid.

They're tied with 43 percent of the vote, even when the other minor party or non-party candidates are included. There was some concern that sham "Tea Party" candidate Scott Ashjian would siphon votes from Angle, but he's only getting 1 percent. Ashjian gets to use the Tea Party name because he registered it first, though he's not really part of the Tea Party movement.

On momentum watch, it doesn't look like there's much momentum (the last polls also have them tied or within the margin) until you get into the fine print. Angle wins 51 percent of independents, while Reid only get's 31 percent. Two weeks ago she was only ahead by 9 points among independents.

Update 9:48AM: The commenters reminded me that LVRJ sells their content to that little outfit suing everyone, so I've re-written the post. It had completely skipped my mind.
