From Las Vegas Review-Journal:
CARSON CITY — A surge in support for Republicans has turned around one race for a state constitutional office and might help other Republicans win in November, a new poll has found.
Trailing by 7 percentage points in late August, Republican accountant Steve Martin has come behind to gain a 5 percentage point lead over Democratic incumbent Kate Marshall in the race for treasurer, according to the poll conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research for the Las Vegas Review-Journal and 8NewsNow.
Pollster Brad Coker said that if the Republican gains continue, then the GOP could see more victories in the constitutional office races.
“What you are seeing is kind of a Republican tide,” Coker said. “Will it be enough to beat (Secretary of State) Ross Miller and (Attorney General) Catherine (Cortez) Masto in November? Probably not. But Nevada could go Republican.”
