Analysis: �In Nevada Sen. Obama gained ground with men and, in the first instance we have noticed, gained a statically significant 21% of voters who describe themselves as Republican. We have not seen this occur in any of our recent polls. Regardless, the race remains tight, but follows the general trend towards Sen. Obama in these key swing states.� Matt Towery

McCain still leads, but Obama continues to campaign there with legitimate hopes of winning Nevada.

"What happens in Vegas may not stay in Vegas, because if Barack Obama tips the historically Republican Silver State his way, it may be indicative of a Democratic run from coast to coast among the battleground states," said David Paleologos, director of the Political Research Center at Suffolk University in Boston.

Nevada has voted Republican in eight of the last 10 presidential elections, dating back to 1968.

The recent Wall Street turmoil has not helped matters for the Republican Party.

When likely voters were asked which political party -- if any -- deserved blame for the roiling economy, 41 percent blamed the Republicans; 16 percent blamed Democrats; 27 percent said neither; and 16 percent were undecided.

"Up to now, John McCain has marketed himself as a maverick reformer. But he may well have to reinvent himself as a regulator if he wants to avoid the wrath of Nevada voters, who lay most of the blame for the mess in the financial markets on the Republican Party's failure to play watchdog to Wall Street's high rollers," said Paleologos.

Respondents said they trust Obama more than McCain, 46 percent to 45 percent.

The top issues on the minds of Nevada presidential voters were economy/jobs (47 percent), Iraq War (11 percent), terrorism (9 percent), moral values (9 percent), health care (8 percent), and taxes (6 percent).

The Nevada bellwether of Washoe County showed Obama (42 percent) leading McCain (38 percent), with Nader and Barr each receiving 1 percent and 15 percent undecided.

Nevada is one of three southwestern states targeted by the Obama campaign. Like New Mexico and Colorado it went narrowly for President Bush four years ago and all three are very competitive this time around.

McCain is now viewed favorably by 58% of voters in Nevada, unchanged over the past month.

Obama currently gets positive reviews from 53%, up six from a month ago, but up just one from two months ago.

Those figures include 35% with a Very Favorable opinion of Obama and 29% who are that enthusiastic about McCain.

McCain�s running mate, Sarah Palin, is viewed favorably by 54%. That includes 40% with a Very Favorable opinion of the Alaska Governor. Joe Biden, the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, is viewed favorably by 52% including 23% with a Very Favorable opinion.

By a 47% to 39% margin, voters in Nevada say that McCain made the right choice when he picked Palin for the ticket. Thirty-five percent (35%) believe that Obama made the right choice while 37% disagree.

Palin is viewed as politically conservative by 79%, Biden as politically liberal by 51%.
