According to a new poll, Nevada voters are almost evenly divided on who they will support in the Senate race, while the governor's race is a tie just 19 days before the election.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing on the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. Drew Angerer poses for a picture.
According to a CBS News/YouGov poll of 1,057 voters taken between October 14 and 19th, Sen. Catherine Masto is trailing her Republican challenger Adam Laxalt by one point.
Steve Sisolak's re-election bid also hangs in the balance, with voters split on whether they will cast their ballot for the incumbent or Republican Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo.
A slim majority of voters approve of the job performances of Sisolak and Cortez Masto, but more than half of respondents think the state is doing very well.
More voters think Laxalt's policies will improve their financial outlooks and make their communities safer from crime, compared to the other way around, with 45% in Laxalt's favor and 45% against.
According to FiveThirtyEight's poll tracker, the results are in line with other polls that show Masto has lost her lead. RealClearPolitics rates the race a toss up. In the past three elections, Nevada has voted for a Democrat for president, but by a small margin. Two incumbent Democrats in the House are in close races to keep their seats.
