A new Rasmussen poll of the Nevada gubernatorial race shows Republican nominee Brian Sandoval with a double-digit lead over Democratic nominee Rory Reid.
The latest survey finds Sandoval ahead 15 points, 55%-40%, when “leaners” are included in the results. On respondents’ initial preference, Sandoval holds a 16-point lead, 52%-36%. A July 27 Rasmussen poll produced a slightly narrower 10-point advantage for the Republican candidate. In that survey, which did not include “leaners”, Sandoval led Reid, 50%-40%. The Democrat has yet to poll within single digits of Sandoval.
The TPM Poll Average has Sandoval ahead in the contest, 52.5%-37.2%. The margin of error for the latest Rasmussen poll is ±4.0 percentage points.
