Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton is leading Donald Trump by two percentage points in the swing state of Nevada, according to a poll released Thursday. The Suffolk University poll shows 44% of likely Nevada voters said they support Clinton, the Democratic nominee, and 42% said they support Trump, the Republican nominee. 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%). Suffolk University conducted the poll from August 15 to 17 with 500 likely Nevada voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
Race is now a statistical tie. Trump in deadheat. All this despite recent polling methodology changes that heavily favored Clinton (calling 60% registered democrats etc). Manafort out. Tough talk back in. Just wait for the debates. The debates is when it all goes down. Hillary now requires a stretcher to be ferried to and from campaign rallys.
Polling methodology was largely changed after Trump came out on top. Methodology was skewed by calling more democrats/adding more options/forcing non-responders to choose. This had quite an impact on already a tight race. Despite all this crap, Trump is now neck-and-neck with that cadaver Hillary.
Zerohedge covered it. As did many others. The Reuters/IPSOS one they changed the methodology considerably.
