In the first poll conducted in a month Sanders has gained close to 20% putting him in a statistical tie with Hillary.

New poll: Clinton, Sanders tied in Nevada

That is huge! Its only one poll so its difficult to know what is happening though. It could be just a massive outlier.

But this idea that she could count on minorities for support who are struggling in this economy always seemed strange to me, even with her name recognition and big national profile. Her support for countless anti-worker trade deals, minimum sentencing, welfare reform and deregulation that led to the crash have hit minority communities especially hard. And she can't be trusted to reign in big money in politics when she claims only republican donors demand favors and not her own wealthy donors.

It's the only recent poll and it seems like it was done correctly.

Looks like the inevitability isn't so inevitable.

Your not president yet.

Biden has to be kicking himself right now. He would have this in the bag.

Hillary is just an awful candidate who has no base outside of black people and 60 year old feminists.

Don't get too excited by that poll. Free Beacon is a conservative website, who hired a Republican company with no track record to assess their polling accuracy. The questions were so obviously biased it's not even funny.

And for some odd reason, they didn't try polling on the Republican caucus.

All of the major polling outlets are not even trying to poll there - this is only the third election they've even had a caucus and there's just no good way to validate who is a likely caucus attendee.
