Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, once down huge in Nevada, is now tied with Hillary Clinton there, according to a new poll.
The Washington Free Beacon/TargetPoint Consulting poll released Friday shows the two candidates even at 45 percent each in Nevada.
Nevada has seen few polls, but Clinton had been thought to be well ahead of Sanders.
A December Gravis poll of the state showed Clinton leading by 23 percentage points. At times last year, Clinton led Sanders by as many as 54 points in Nevada.
The new poll is the first in Nevada by the pollsters. The Free Beacon is a conservative publication seen as antagonistic toward Clinton. And TargetPoint is "a conservative firm stocked with Republican operatives," according to Slate.
Clinton's campaign had expressed concerns this week that Sanders could be gaining ground in Nevada.
"You have a caucus-style format, and he'll have the momentum coming out of New Hampshire, presumably, so there's a lot of reasons he should do well," campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said Tuesday, adding that the 80 percent of voters in the state are white. "There's reason to believe the race will tighten even there." TAGS:Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, Nevada
Conservatives trying to manipulate the Dem race by spiking a poll?
The Basement Dwelling, Free Stuff arm of the DemocRAT Party is on a roll.

Hillary to prison.
Elizabeth Warren to the Supreme Court.
Joe Biden to the Democrat Convention to stop Bernie Sanders.
I’ve seen more (and it ain’t many since I don’t watch that much tv) hildebeast ads than bernie ads. Big buck ads touting her as two steps above mother teresa.
if you were on twitter yesterday (which i cancelled) you would believe he is tied.
the utter hatred and contempt and vitriol and demeaning remarks for a deceased man was disgusting.
a lot of f...ts and blacks but a lot of straight white folk, and the blacks had the nerve to ATTACK me for defending the “mobbed up” Scalia!!!
blacks are the MOST RACIST people I have EVER EVER met.
Whoops! There’s an echo in here.
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) will bail her butt out. The only important areas with enough votes are in Las Vegas. In 2008, SEIU gave the casinos and hotels instructions to let anyone who wanted to caucus the day off with pay or face a strike. When the members arrived at the caucus locations, union bosses told them that if they did not caucus for Obama, they would be reported as missing to their employers and wouldn’t get paid. Obama won. This time SEIU is in the tank for Hillary.
Who cares what the peons think? Who do the super-delegates support in Nevada?
Behold the daylight cometh and your shadows flee away.
No, the rest of the liberal polls nationally trying to make sure Hillary’s slide down was NOT noticed ...
At first I thought this was about one of those Indian knife fights where they tie a rope between the left wrists of the two fighters and let them go at it.
Hillary and Bernie bare chested with toad stickers in their right hands and vicious smiles on their faces.
I threw up a little bit thinking of them both bare chested.
Hillary would gut him.
Democrats play hardball. This is why the Senate Republicans need to grow a spine with regard to Obama’s nomination to SCOTUS. Time to shove the hardball up Obama’s nether regions.
that’s a good thing right :)
On either side, the ONLY thing that matters is Super Tuesday and then Ohio on the 15th. Let’s chat then.
I think Nevada Bed sheet turner unions will be all in for Bernie Claus
Yep, big time. And human toilet hillary will be at her Kleenex box again.
Yep.
