Big Governor: Republican Sen. Dean Heller leads Democrat challenger Jacky Rosen by 47 to 45 percent in a NYT Upshot/Siena College poll released Thursday.
Heller is seen by Democrats as vulnerable after holding his seat by just one point in 2016 in a state that Hillary Clinton won. The New York Times reported that seven percent of the 642 Nevada voters were either undecided or refused to answer whether they would vote Heller or Rosen.
Four organizations cited in the report rank the race as a “tossup.” Each candidate has raised close to $10 million in contributions. Other recent polls listed show Heller and Rosen with no more than a five point margin between them.
The poll found that if modeled after the type of voters who turned out in 2014, the last midterm election, Heller comes out seven points ahead. When modeled after those who turned out in 2016, the poll favored Rosen by four points. Ultimately the survey determined that Heller came out two points ahead in the survey, which had a “margin of sampling error on the overall lead” at eight points.
Respondent demographics included a slight majority of females to males, 71 percent identified as white, 54 percent were 30 to 65-years-old, and 74 percent participated via cell phone versus land line. read more
SNIP: Just so ya know, Dean Heller is a weak on gun rights RINO.
Another ‘Choose the lesser evil’ election for Nevada.
Unfortunately CA is next door. I can hear the buses now.
Ballots are printed in Spanish to accommodate the hard working new arrivals that do the work Americans refuse to do.
NYT poll; well it’s over then…might as well stay home.
@Russian Bot: The busses from CA (and Tijuana) have been running, one way for 20 years.
