The most recent Nevada poll was released by Gravis on December 28. In that poll, Clinton led Sanders by 23 points, 50 to 27. While that’s obviously too far out to measure everything accurately, it is interesting to note that the most recent previous poll, an October release from CNN/ORC, showed more competitive numbers (a 16-point lead at 50-34), possibly hinting that Bernie’s surge in Iowa and New Hampshire did not signal a rise in the states beyond.
The two polls combine for a RealClearPolitics average showing a Clinton lead of 19.5 at 50 percent, with Bernie Sanders at 30.5 percent.

A recent national poll from Quinnipiac shows just a 2-point lead for Clinton, 44 percent to 42 percent. This poll is a significant outlier, as all other recent polls show double-digit leads for Clinton, but it may capture a snapshot of the Sanders momentum after a close loss in Iowa and headed toward what looks like a big New Hampshire win. The RealClearPolitics averages update to include the latest poll shows Clinton’s lead at 13.3 points at 50.5 percent, with Sanders taking 37.2 percent.
National Polling Averages (by RealClearPolitics)
- Hillary Clinton: 49.3%
- Bernie Sanders: 36%
The betting markets aggregated by PredictWise show Clinton at an 82 percent favorite to win the Democratic nomination, with Sanders at 18.
