Latino caucus-goers overwhelmingly supported Bernie Sanders in Nevada, according to entrance polls
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders won the Nevada caucuses, accelerating the momentum and strengthening his position heading into next week’s primary in South Carolina and the March 3 Super Tuesday contests.In entrance polls, he was trouncing other candidates with Latino and Hispanic caucus-goers in Nevada, according to NBC News entrance polling results that showed him with 53% of the vote with that demographic in the seven-person race.
Overall, Sanders leads among nonwhite voters as well. Nevada, the third state to vote, is the first with a significant minority population. About three in 10 Nevadans are Latinos, 10% of the population is black, and 10% is Asian American and Pacific Islander.The entrance polls showed that about one in five Nevada caucus-goers is Latino, and that Latino caucus-goers are younger and less likely to hold a college degree than their white counterparts.
During the campaign for the Nevada caucus, Sanders' rivals sought to benefit from the fact that the powerful Culinary Union, the state’s largest labor organization, had criticized Medicare for All, warning that workers would have to give up their hard-fought health care benefits for coverage that might not be as good.
