Free Beacon Poll: Clinton and Sanders Tied in Nevada
The poll shows Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders tied at 45 percent each among likely caucusgoers. Clinton narrowly edges Sanders among those who have completely made up their mind. But undecided caucusgoers and those who might change their mind say recent scandals involving Clinton make them significantly less likely to support her.

The stakes for both candidates are high after Sanders’ drubbing of Clinton in New Hampshire and her razor-thin victory in the Iowa caucuses the week before. Once seen as inevitable, Clinton’s candidacy has been dogged by allegations of federal crimes, official misconduct, and corruption.
Those scandals could plague Clinton in Nevada as undecided or swing voters settle on a candidate in the days before the caucuses. In 2008, more than a quarter of Democratic caucusgoers in the state decided whom to support in the final 10 days.
Of the 10 percent of undecided respondents, 87 percent say that Clinton’s failure to disclose foreign government donations to her family’s foundation make them less likely to support her. More than three-quarters say the same about her support for the 2008 Wall Street bailouts and subsequent paid speeches at investment banks.
In the past week, Clinton has come under fire for her refusal to release the transcripts of those speeches, and the Clinton Foundation has revealed that it was subpoenaed by the State Department’s inspector general as part of its investigation into federal government support for its donors.

in Nevada to substantiate what's going on.
Thanks for the video. 
Nevada has been holding it's caucuses for only 3 cycles now, and most polling organizations are unwilling to conduct polls in a place where, unlike Iowa or New Hampshire, they really have no way of knowing who the "likely voters" are. They'd rather do no polling at all than risk their reputations on trying to predict a contest that they have so little historical data to work with.
That being said -- I do hope Bernie is really doing that well
