In 2012, President Barack Obama won 55% of the vote in the state, and 52% in 2008. And in 2012, 19% of the voting population is Latino, which was up from 15% in 2008.
The poll also shows that the Senate race in the state is close as well, with 37% of those polled supporting Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto and 37% supporting Republican Joe Heck.
Also in the survey, 55% of the Nevada residents surveyed said that the 2016 election makes them feel “alarmed,” while 24% feel “excited” and 11% said they felt bored.
The top three issues for Nevada residents are jobs and the economy (26%), terrorism and national security (20%) and future Supreme Court nominees (11%).
