Trump Overtakes Clinton (Nevada Trump 44, Hillary 42)
Monmouth University ^ | 9/14/2016

Posted on 09/14/2016 10:16:56 AM PDT by orchestra

West Long Branch, NJ - The race for Nevada's electoral votes has flipped from two months ago, with Donald Trump now holding a slim 2 point lead over Hillary Clinton, whereas Clinton held a 4 point lead in July's Monmouth University Poll . In the U.S. Senate contest, Republican Joe Heck clings to a narrow 3 point lead over Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto, virtually unchanged from his earlier 2 point lead.

Among Silver State voters likely to participate in November's presidential election, 44% currently support Trump and 42% back Clinton. Another 8% intend to vote for Libertarian Gary Johnson and 3% say they will choose Nevada's unique "none of these candidates" ballot option. Monmouth's July poll found Clinton leading Trump by 45% to 41%, with Johnson at 5% and none of the above at 4%. Green Party candidate Jill Stein will not appear on the ballot in Nevada.

Among self-identified Republicans, 88% support Trump, which is identical to his 88% support in July. Among Democrats, 90% support Clinton, which is similar to her 92% support in July. Independents have shifted, however, now giving Trump a clear 43% to 29% advantage over Clinton, with 17% supporting Johnson. Two months ago, the independent vote was divided at 39% for Trump, 37% for Clinton, and 10% for Johnson.

"The race in Nevada is still tight, but the momentum has swung toward Trump," said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.

Clinton still has a sizable lead among non-white voters - 63% to 28% for Trump, which is down slightly from her 64% to 23% lead among this group in July. The Republican nominee retains his lead among white voters, now standing at 51% to 33%, which is up slightly from 49% to 37% two months ago.

I moved to Reno to buy a gun. Guess my vote is unnecessary.

Mr Trump and Dr Heck (running for dingy Harry’s open seat) will win our state by much more than 2 points, that I will tell you.

Funny, they never refer to a two-point Hillary lead as slim. I hate the media.

If the party labels were reversed, it would be "Democrat Hero Catherine Cortez added to her solid lead against controversial Republican fringe candidate Joe Heck, adding 50 percentage points to her already commanding advantage."

Exactly!! I’m sure he’ll win way more, but if he wins CO, NV, IA, FL, and OH, it’s OVER. He wouldn’t even need PA, but again I have a feeling he’s going to win PA along with some others.

This is hugh and series.

Monmouth is one of the early cheaters, and notoriously left.

So based on polling now, OH, NV, IA, and even CO would be in Trump’s column. I had NEVER done math with CO in it, so that makes the equations different. Obviously, VA or PA is good, but with CO and IA, that’s 12 EVs that I had not counted on and, I think, offsets VA, right?

He could take NH too. Have there been recent PA polls?
