Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are in a dead heat in Nevada, according to a new
CNN/ORC poll.
In a survey of likely Democratic caucus-goers, the former secretary of state holds a mere one-point lead over the U.S. Senator from Vermont — 48 to 47 percent. The difference is well within the margin of error of 6 percent.
Clinton held a 16-point lead over Sanders in Nevada in October, according to CNN.
With the latest poll results so narrow, the outcome of Saturday's Nevada Democratic Caucus could rest with undecided voters. According to the CNN poll, 75 percent of voters have either made up their minds or are leaning toward a candidate, leaving one quarter of Nevada Democrats "still trying to decide."
Clinton tracked strongly with Nevada Democrats when asked who would do the best on handling key issues.
