    Unexpected Connections

    Have you ever driven down a road you have driven down a million times before and then one day you recognize something new?

  • Independent Poll: Non-major party voters place Sisolak behind Lombardo, neck-and-neck with Heller

    Independent Poll: Non-major party voters place Sisolak behind Lombardo, neck-and-neck with Heller

    As the number of people registered with non-major parties outpaces those registering as either a Democrat or Republican, a new poll released Sunday by The Nevada Independent indicates the leanings of independent voters who will play a major role in determining the outcomes of tight gubernatorial and U.S. Senate races.
    Non-major party voters who were polled leaned slightly more Republican than Democrat, with 41.5 percent indicating they would be more likely to vote GOP in the November 2022 election compared with 38.1 percent more likely to vote for a Democrat.
    In match-ups between Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak and the two GOP gubernatorial frontrunners —  former U.S. Sen. Dean Heller and Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo — non-major party voters placed the governor even with Heller (42.3 percent to 42.1 percent) and about 5 points behind Lombardo (39.6 percent to 44.7 percent).      Continue this story
