Nevada Senate Race 2022 Polls: Last Elections
In the last Nevada Senate Election, that is in 2016, the incumbent Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto was elected with 47.2% of the vote share.
She defeated her Republican rival, Joe Heck, by a huge margin. Cortez won Clark county which gave her a clear mandate of three-quarters of the state’s population. She defeated Heck by almost 27000 votes.
Nevada is the only state in the union that allows voters to choose “none of these candidates” which tends to garner around 2% every election. However, in 2016 that number rose to 3.8% allowing Cortez to win with only 47.1% of the vote as she only won one of Nevada’s 17 counties.

Nevada Senate Race 2022 Polls: Racial Demographics
As per the latest 2020 Census Figures, the voting age demographics of the state are as follows:
|
Demographics |
Proportion |
|
White American |
50% |
|
Black American |
10.9% |
|
Hispanic American |
25.3% |
|
Asian American |
11.3% |
|
Native American |
3.2% |
|
Others |
1.4% |
White voters make up about 50% of the state’s voting-age population but form a larger majority of the eligible voter base as Asian and Hispanic voters tend to be immigrants who cannot vote. However, minority voters are a crucial voting bloc in the state and Republicans managed to make inroads into them in 2020. They will be hoping to continue that trend this year as they try to retake the Governor’s mansion.
Clark County is the most important county in the state and is home to Las Vegas and a majority of the state voters including a large number of Asian and Black voters. Democrats almost always win the county but margins are crucial here. Clinton won it by 11 points, while Biden won it by 9 points but made up lost votes in Washoe County, home to Reno.
The county is more suburban and white than Clark and swung to Biden, helping Biden win the state by the same margin as Clinton. These two counties will decide the election, and any Republican must cut down Democratic margins here to win the state as every other county in the state is safely Republican. Those counties are not as populated but will be decisive in a GOP victory as long as they can keep the margin close in Washoe and Clark.
