Nevada's gubernatorial candidates from left: Republican Brian Sandoval and Democrat Rory Reid.

Public Policy Polling's first look at the Nevada Governor's race finds the same thing all other polling has: a wide lead for Republican Brian Sandoval. He's up 52-38 over Democrat Rory Reid. Sandoval has some of the best favorability numbers PPP has found for any candidate in the country this cycle. Forty-two percent of voters see him positively to only 31 percent with an unfavorable opinion. Independents, who don't like much of anyone right now, give him positive numbers by a 39/31 margin.

Reid meanwhile has some of the worst favorability numbers PPP has found for candidates across the country. Thirty-four percent see him favorably, while 48 percent have a negative opinion. Independents give him bad marks by a 23/54 spread.
