Hillary Clinton’s 20+ point
lead over Bernie Sanders in Nevada just evaporated.
In a new poll released by TargetPoint
Consulting, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are in a dead heat, with
both pulling 45% of the vote in the next state in the Democratic nomination
process.
This is the first poll
conducted in the state since December, which matched national trends in finding
Clinton defeating Sanders by an average of 20 points. In that time, Sanders has
made huge gains in his publicity, virtually tieing the former Secretary of
State in Iowa, and roundly defeating her in New Hampshire by a margin of
22.4%.
The poll used a sample size
of 1,236, which is a large number of respondents for a poll of this kind,
resulting in a very reliable margin of error of only 2.9 percentage
points.
Furthermore, this poll was
conducted February 8-10, before last night’s debate, which found Bernie Sanders
the clear victor, according to a Nevada focus group that favored the Vermont
senator over Clinton 25-9 despite being evenly split prior to the debate.
