LAS VEGAS — Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are neck and neck in the swing state of Nevada, with less than two months to go until the November election.

A new survey from Emerson College Polling/The Hill of swing states showed the candidates tied each with 48% support in the Silver State, a marginal change from when the group last polled in late August before the presidential debate where Harris was at 49% and Trump at 48%.

In other swing states, Trump is ahead 50% to Harris’ 47% in Georgia and ahead by one percentage point in Arizona and Wisconsin. Harris is ahead in North Carolina by 1 percentage point and ahead in Michigan by two percentage points.

The poll surveyed 895 Nevada likely voters with a credibility interval of plus or minus 3.2%. Of the 895 likely voters, 288 were Democrats, 261 were Republican and 346 were independent or with another party. Twenty-one percent of respondents were 70 years old and up, with other age ranges each making up between 14% to 18% of respondents.

The survey also asked voters the top issues facing their state, and Nevada voters said the economy is the biggest issue, next to housing affordability. Threats to democracy, education, immigration and health care were also important.

In Nevada’s contentious Senate race, Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen is ahead 48% to Republican Sam Brown’s 41%, with 9% of voters undecided.

Rosen has remained ahead of Brown in polls across the election cycle.

The survey also found that 39.8% approve of the job Gov. Joe Lombardo is doing, with 28.8% disapproving and 31.5% neutral or having no opinion.
