Poll-less in Nevada

It’s highly doubtful the media’s collective failure in New Hampshire – predicting an overwhelming victory for a candidate who ultimately placed second – will be duplicated in Nevada. As the Sun reported today, there won’t be many active polls for journalists to rely on.

Nevada voters were last polled one month ago. The Washington, DC firm that conducted that poll – Mason-Dixon Polling & Research – says it will survey voters again before the caucus, but it’s unclear when exactly that work will be done.

“We’ll be going into the field shortly,” said Larry Harris, a principal with Mason-Dixon.

No national news organizations have indicated plans to poll the Nevada electorate before the caucus here Jan. 19.
