YES
Between Sept. 8 and Sept. 10, 2022, an A-rated poll of 1,000 likely Nevada voters conducted by Emerson College indicated that Trump was polling ahead of Biden 43% to 40%. Thirteen percent of Nevadans say they would vote for someone else and 4% are undecided. These numbers remain unchanged from the previous poll Emerson College conducted between July 7 and July 10, 2022. This accurately reflects recently observable trends in Nevada. A Nevada Independent/OH Predictive Insights poll from April also showed that only 43% approved of the job President Biden has done, while 47% reported a favorable impression of former President Trump. As of late September 2022, Biden maintains a small lead over Trump in national polls.
