The 2010 United States Senate election in Nevada took place on November 2, 2010. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator and Majority Leader Harry Reid won re-election to a fifth and final term, defeating Republican challenger Sharron Angle.Damon Anjeanette Sen. Harry Reid wins fifth term against anti-incumbent fervor http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/nov/02/harry-reid-takes-lead-over-sharron-angle August 29, 2011 Las Vegas Sun November 2, 2010 Demirjian, Karoun https://web.archive.org/web/20101105122218/http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/nov/02/harry-reid-takes-lead-over-sharron-angle November 5, 2010 live
In its analysis of Reid's victory over Angle, Politico reported that the Reid campaign had placed advertisements opposing Angle's main primary opponent, Sue Lowden. The purpose of the ads was to enhance the "polarizing" Angle's chances of winning the Republican nomination.https://www.politico.com/story/2010/11/comeback-how-did-reid-do-it-044714 Comeback: How did Reid do it? POLITICO Ball Molly November 4, 2010
Despite Angle leading by three points in the polls the days leading up to the election, Reid won by 5.74%, even defeating Angle in her own county, Washoe County. Reid also secured huge numbers out of the Democratic stronghold of Clark County, which covers the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area. Angle ran for this seat again in 2016 and lost the Republican primary.

In January 2009, the GOP began running an advertisement attacking President Barack Obama's proposed stimulus plan and Reid for his support of the legislation.http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/01/27/gop-targets-reid-in-new-ad-buy CNN GOP targets Reid in new ad buy May 27, 2010 April 5, 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20090405084635/http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/01/27/gop-targets-reid-in-new-ad-buy/ dead Since becoming Minority Leader (in 2004), his approval ratings had dropped below 50%.2008-01-07 One year at the helm https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/one-year-at-the-helm/ 2024-06-04 Las Vegas Review-Journal en-US A November 2007 poll showed Reid's approval rating at 39%, with 49% of voters disapproving.KREN.com (story no longer available)
After the primaries, the first poll showed Angle leading by a double-digit margin. CQ Politics changed their analysis of the race from leaning Republican to a toss-up because of Angle's sharply conservative views and tendency to commit verbal gaffes; however, CQ added that if the voters treat the election as a referendum on Reid, then Angle will likely win.McArdle John http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmspage.cfm?docID=news-000003680861 Rating Change: Reid's Race a Tossup CQ Politics June 10, 2010 June 14, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100612071003/http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmspage.cfm?docID=news-000003680861 June 12, 2010 dead
