They don’t call Nevada a swing state for nothing.
A recent series of polls has shown that while Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris has closed the gap here with former President Donald Trump, she has yet to close the deal with Nevada voters.
Nevada — which has voted for the Democratic candidate for president in every election since 2008 — is neck and neck now, polls show.
That means every single vote matters to both Harris and Trump — and explains why both candidates make frequent stops in the Silver State. (Harris will visit Sunday, and again on Oct. 10, while Trump was most recently in the state on Sept. 13 and 14.)
Here’s a look at some recent polls and where Nevada stands in each:
Noble Predictive Insights: The poll of 812 registered voters also included 692 likely voters , or those who tell the pollster they will most definitely vote in the upcoming election. The margin of error was 3.72 percent for that group.
In that group, Harris leads by one percentage point — 48 percent to 47 percent — in a head-to-head matchup with Trump. But the candidates are dead even when third-party and “none of these candidates” are included in the question — 47 percent each.
