Poll: Obama +2 in NEVADA
President Barack Obama edges out GOP opponent Mitt Romney 47 percent to 45 percent in a new Nevada poll that shows Romney's running mate, Paul Ryan, evenly splitting voters in the battleground state, too.
Nevada voters are sharply divided on whether Ryan helps or hurts the GOP ticket and on whether they support or oppose the conservative Wisconsin congressman's plan to reform Medicare for future retirees, according to the survey commissioned by the Las Vegas Review-Journal and KLAS-TV 8 NewsNow.
About 42 percent of likely Nevada voters polled said Romney's selection of Ryan as his vice presidential pick doesn't influence their presidential choice.
But 28 percent said they're more likely to vote for Romney with Ryan on the ticket, while 29 percent said they're more likely to vote now for Obama, who is campaigning in North Las Vegas today and was in Reno on Tuesday.
"Ryan attracts to the Romney ticket as many voters as he repels," said pollster Jay H. Leve of SurveyUSA, which conducted the survey. "I consider him a net wash. You can't really point to anything in the poll that shows he's helping Romney, and you can't really point to anything that shows he's hurting Romney."
