Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump
A new poll shows the Silver State easily giving Donald Trump the gold medal in his fight for the Republican presidential nomination.
A Gravis Marketing poll of likely Nevada voters released Wednesday found Trump, the Republican front-runner since August, winning over his rivals by capturing 33 percent. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was second at 20 percent, followed by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio at 11 percent.
The survey was conducted Dec. 23-27 with 909 registered, likely voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points for both parties.

The good news for Trump comes just three days after Clout Research, a national opinion research firm in Columbus, Ohio, said the billionaire’s anti-establishment, anti-politically correct attitude resonates with many minorities.
The WND/Clout survey, taken Dec. 18-27, except for the holiday, found 40 percent of blacks, 45 percent of Hispanics, and nearly 19 percent of Asians view Trump favorably, WND reported. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.35 percentage points.
Trump’s prolonged dominance in the polls has created what Fox News deemed a “brawl” between candidates “below the Trump tier.”
“The establishment candidates – the former governors Bush, Christie, Kasich – and then Sen. Rubio are in a dogfight to see which one of them can emerge as the establishment candidate to challenge Cruz and Trump. So there is a real dogfight going on in the establishment lane,” former Mitt Romney adviser Robert O’Brien told Fox on Thursday.
Right to Rise USA, a pro-Jeb Bush super PAC, is spending $1.4 million on ads set to begin in Iowa next week. Bush’s previous attempts to attack Trump have been met with laughter and derision.
