Rasmussen says Trump has been “steadily losing ground” since mid-July when his support peaked at 44 percent.

Nevada is considered a swing state but Barack Obama won it in 2008 and 2012.

The majority of Nevada voters saw both candidates as neither honest nor trustworthy.

The Suffolk University poll shows 44% of likely Nevada voters said they support Clinton, the Democratic nominee, and 42% said they support Trump, the Republican nominee. Of them, 1,069 identified themselves as likely voters.

The top three issues for Nevada residents are jobs and the economy (26%), terrorism and national security (20%) and future Supreme Court nominees (11%).

When asked if they felt more or less safe living in America than they did five to 10 years ago, 53 percent said they felt less safe, 15 percent more safe and 29 percent said there was no change.

The poll, conducted August 15-16, has a margin of sampling error of +/- 3 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence. The margin of error is 4.4 percentage points.
