The race is very close in Nevada. The polls indicate no clear lead for either candidate.
As you can see from the figures quoted above, the presidential race in that state has been very close in the last three elections.
Nevada's population has been growing at a fast pace in recent years, especially around Las Vegas. However, the housing slump indicates that that growth might, temporarily at least, be slowing down. Be that as it may, the influx of people that Nevada has experienced, makes it difficult to know whether the future will resemble the past. The November result is impossible to predict, right now.
