Nevada Governor’s Race Tightens | US News

Nevada’s governor’s race is heating up in a dead heat between Republican Joe Lombardo and Democrat Aaron Ford, with a new Emerson poll showing Ford narrowly ahead by two points — but don’t count it out: the Cook Report calls it a toss-up. With the economy dominating voters’ minds — 40% cite it as their top concern — both candidates are painting each other as out of touch. Ford ties Lombardo to Trump and blames his policies for rising gas prices, while Lombardo counters by linking Ford to California’s “tax-and-spend” agenda under Newsom. Lombardo’s first term has been marked by clashes with the legislature, vetoing over 160 bills, and his approval sits at a split 40-39. Trump’s numbers in Nevada? Even worse: 37% approve, 55% disapprove. This poll, based on 680 likely voters, has a 3.7-point margin — meaning that slim lead could vanish in a heartbeat. The finish line? Still far away — and this race is going to be tight all the way to Election Day. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
