The
race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders is deadlocked ahead of
Saturday's Democratic caucuses, according to the results of the latest
CNN/ORC poll from the
state released Wednesday.
Clinton
earned 48 percent to Sanders' 47 percent, with the former secretary of
state leading among voters over the age of 55 and the Vermont senator
picking up the support
of more younger voters, echoing their supporting demographics in Iowa
and New Hampshire.
Likely
caucus-goers gave Clinton higher marks on issues related to foreign
policy, health care, immigration and race relations, but on the economy,
which 42 percent rated
as the most important issue, Clinton and Sanders are knotted (with
Clinton 48 percent, Sanders 47 percent). Among those who cited the
economy as their top issue, Sanders leads by 9 points — 52 percent to 43
percent. The candidates are also effectively tied
among likely caucus-goers who were asked which candidate would do more
to help the middle class: 50 percent said Sanders would, while 47
percent said the same of Clinton.
On
the Republican side, Donald Trump blew away the competition with 45
percent, trouncing his closest rival by 26 points among those likely to
caucus next Tuesday. Florida
Sen. Marco Rubio finished with 19 percent, followed by 17 percent for
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Roughly six in 10 have decided whom they will
support, according to the results.
Reliable
polls of Nevada are scarce, and it should be noted that the CNN/ORC
poll has small sample sizes. The poll was conducted by telephone from
Feb. 10-15, surveying
282 likely Democratic caucus-goers, with a margin of error of plus or
minus 6 percentage points and 245 likely Republican caucus-goers, with a
margin of error of plus or minus 6.5 percentage points.
