A new survey from the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling finds Nevada Senate challenger Sharron Angle has yet to unite Republican voters around her candidacy. Just 63% of Republicans surveyed say they hold a favorable view of the GOP nominee and one-fifth say they have an unfavorable opinion of her.

There is still three months for Angle to bring GOP voters home, but she begins the general election race at a disadvantage to incumbent Sen. Harry Reid, whom 80% of Democrats approve of.

He now leads Angle by a 48%-46% margin, with 6% undecided. Putting it in perspective, the majority leader of the Senate should not be polling under 50% or hold just a 2-point lead over a challenger. However, this is the highest mark he's received against Angle in eight months of polling.

Still, Reid's job approval rating remains upside down at 44%, the same as President Obama's. Reid still holds a large cash-on-hand advantage ($9 million to Angle's $1.8 million), but Angle outraised him in the second quarter.

The survey of 630 registered voters was conducted July 16-18 with a margin of error of +/- 3.9%.

RCP rates this race a Toss Up.
