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.

Perhaps the Democrat Party will self-destruct.
The Republican Party Division of the Democrat Party is next.
Emerging from the ruins, we might be lucky enough to have Tea Drinking Oath Keepers. (TDOK)
THAT was a dead heat!
We'll see but those Bush "internals" seem like an attempt to water down Trump support.
Super-delegates can change their commitment up until the time they vote. The NH super-delegates can and will switch their vote to Bernie if he emerges the leader in elected delegates ... which is exactly what happened in 2008. Bernie’s momentum around being a representative of the 99% vs. the 1% can be nearly as powerful as Obama momentum around being the first black President.
All of which he early on recognized were important to voters and adjusted his campaign to take advantage of it.
“the gimmie hippies wont stand for it”
I would not put any faith in Caucus state polling, its just too different. If Trump wins, great for him, if he loses, just like IA I can’t say I’d be hugely shocked. Caucus is just too oddball to get a good read on, and you have forces in play that don’t exist in secret ballot voting.
They may mean well, and I believe they do, but they are beholden to a certain sponsor and GOPe segment.

Who are their sponsors? Gold, food storage, LifeLock, online subscriptions and BOOKS.
Those are all “bad news” products.
Ask Gary North how well his business does during time of prosperity.
Misery is a gravy train for some....look at all the pawn shops and payday loan businesses...they profit off the people being crushed.
It’s secret voting here. I don’t understand why you think Nevada is Iowa.
The biggest issues here are immigration and economy, plus we have a lot of military. Many tech companies are relocating here.
If Jeb stands on his tippy toes he might just get to 2%.
Bernie better learn to sleep without pillows.
“Now, Rush, what do Bush’s internals say about Nevada?”
Bwahahahaha, that is a good one. Ted seems to be slipping everywhere. He once had the lead in Nevada. Now he is in 3rd behind Rubio.
“Prediction: Sanders beats Clinton by a comfortable margin in Nevada, but Hillary gets the majority of delegates after winning 11 consecutive coin tosses.”
Hahahaha. Very good analysis.
Love you but your post is so desperate. you are reaching anything....anything to give Cruz a little bit of unrealistic hope. You keep going though because you may only have Cruz for another month.
Cute. Every time Trump wins a state it is because the voters are the problem. You did that when Trump did well in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, and I can’t wait for your excuses after Super Tuesday......up oh you better begin thinking about Florida too because that is March 15th not much time left. Get to work.
Pitiful. I can’t even imagine her making it through the primaries.
I appreciate the clarification. Thanks.
Pitiful. I can’t even imagine her making it through the primaries.
I agree. And she had another bad coughing spell yesterday. She doesn’t have the stamina and Bill isn’t looking so good, either.
Most young people see the Clintons and don’t like what they see.
You seem to be mistaken by my post you commented on. I meant it sarcastically.
Trump 2016!!
