Likely Democratic caucusgoers in Nevada are split almost evenly between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders ahead of Saturday's caucuses, according to a new CNN/ORC Poll.
Though Clinton holds an edge over Sanders on handling a range of top issues, the results suggest the extremely close race hinges on divided opinions on the economy.
Overall, 48% of likely caucus attendees say they support Clinton, 47% Sanders. Both candidates carry their demographic strong points from prior states into Nevada, with Clinton holding an edge among women, while Sanders tops the former secretary of state among voters under age 55.

The Republican side seems set for less suspense when that party holds caucuses on Tuesday, February 23. The poll finds businessman Donald Trump holding a wide lead, topping the field with the support of 45% of those likely to caucus. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz are closely matched in the race for second place, with Rubio at 19% and Cruz at 17%. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson (7%), Ohio Gov. John Kasich (5%) and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (1%) lag well behind those three.

They are going to have to steal it for her.......she cant even beat the old socialist.
If this won't make you vote for him, nothing elese will.
Except Trump gained points in several other post debate polls and he is 19 points ahead of Ted with evangelicals in that same CNN poll you quote from.
That will not happen. Superdelegates and the Democratic establishment won’t “steal” the nomination from Bernie — that just guarantees a left-wing third party campaign. They’ll allow him to be nominated if he wins the majority of the elected delegates.
What they WILL do is defect in large numbers to Bloomberg, and THAT’s a powerful play. Bloomberg vs. Trump and Sanders takes a huge swath of the GOPe and moderate Republican voters from Trump, will have the unanimous support of corporate America, will get a lot of Democratic establishment support, and is perfectly palatable to socially liberal Democrats who are taxpayers or worried about their 401ks.
Basically, the math is kind of like this for different match-ups:
Trump 45% vs. Clinton 40% vs. Sanders (I) 15%. Moderate voters split well to Trump because Clinton unappealing to them.
Trump 53% vs. Sanders (D) 47%. Corporate America quietly backs Trump.
Bloomberg (I) 42% vs. Trump 35% vs. Sanders (D) 23%. Trump wins only hard-core conservative voters; Sanders only wins white liberals as black voters are steered to Bloomberg by their leadership.
The Cruzbots are a very sick, soulless society.
BTW, the crystal clear (at least to me) indication that “they” know the HMS Tedtanic is heading to the bottom of the ocean is EVERY SINGLE ONE of their threadcraps isn’t something positive about St. Rafael, it’s some perceived negative about The Donald.
Why’s that?
Because there isn’t ANYTHING positive being generated for St. Rafael.
Have fun on the Tedtanic, mouthbreathers.
I don't doubt you at all.
Please Lord, Chicago ‘68.
Oh my...Ted getting trounced again by Trump...But I’m sure the only reason Trump is winning is because Nevada is Sin City and Trump owns a hotel there, so Trump is a bad man who peddles in gambling and other vices.
You just keep telling yourself that the last debate finished Trump!
I think that's true for all professional conservatives that oppose Trump. So much wasted money ...
” HMS Tedtanic :
OK, that is clever!
: )
The Dems here in NV are already at each other’s throats. Thankfully, the Dem caucus is on a different day than ours, so we can pull up the lawn chairs and watch the fireworks.
LOL.
Thought of it myself. :)
Trademark that sucker!
I thought Hitlery could steel all the super Delegates. She already did that in NH.
In your opinion, who would win the election?
I see utter chaos on many levels throughout the world by Nov.
Good idea!
I doubt that.
Hutchinson did though.
If Hillary loses Nevada, I wonder how that will affect her southern ‘firewall’.
Economy > everything in Nevada.
