Now that the first two contests for the Democratic nomination are over, it’s time to take stock of where the race is and where it might be going.
The two Nevada surveys conducted within the past week give Sen. Bernie Sanders an average of 30 percent support, and a 14-point lead over former Vice President Joe Biden. Now the clear favorite to prevail in Nevada, Sanders seems likely to head into South Carolina as the winner of the popular vote in the first three contests, and the clear front-runner in the race for the nomination. CONT.
