A "normal" poll, using standard methods, such as the ABC/WaPo poll, found Reid with a 46% approval rating, in a poll conducted from April 12-15. The 5% approval that you referenced was from a poll in January, before he took over as majority leader and in which 70% claimed to have never heard of Harry Reid, and a further 16% were undecided. To present that as if the 5% was indicative of massive disapproval is pretty damn misleading. Yes, lets be explicit about this James.
