Washington, D.C. – She might be Nevada’s Senior Senator and Harry Reid’s protégé, but according to Nevadans, Catherine Cortez Masto is not deserving of a spot on the state’s Power Rankings.
OH Predictive Insights released its first-ever Nevada Power Rankings of popular politicians in the state. While Cortez Masto is popular among Democrat voters, her so-called power is nowhere to be seen with Independent or Republican voters.
“Given the US Senate’s 50-50 split, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto’s re-election battle in 2022 will have national consequences, and Adam Laxalt – her primary Republican challenger – is shaping up to be a serious candidate, according to the rankings. Cortez Masto ranks No. 14 among all registered voters, buoyed by a No. 1 ranking among Democrats, but struggling to gain traction with Independents and Republicans. Laxalt, on the other hand, ranks No. 3 overall, as well as among Independents and Republicans.
“Much of the discrepancy between Laxalt’s and Cortez Masto’s rankings is due to their crossover appeal (or lack thereof); Laxalt is viewed favorably by more Democratic voters than Cortez Masto is by GOP voters.”
Statement from NRSC Spokeswoman Katharine Cooksey: “Not even cracking the overall top ten or the top ten with Independent voters is a fitting ranking for fake moderate Catherine Cortez Masto. Nevada voters know she’s powerless and will do all she can to appease Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders and their radical agenda.”
