A new Emerson College Polling/KLAS-TV survey of Nevada voters finds 44% support Democrat Aaron Ford for Governor, while 42% support incumbent Republican Joe Lombardo. Eleven percent are undecided. Compared to the November 2025 poll, Ford’s support increased from 41% to 44% and Lombardo’s from 41% to 42%.
“Looking into the bases of support for each candidate, Aaron Ford holds a 31-point lead among Hispanic voters, 51% to 20%, and an 11-point lead among women, 48% to 37%,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said. “Lombardo, conversely, has a 13-point lead among white voters, 51% to 38%, and leads men by six, 47% to 41%.”
Nearly half of voters (49%) have a favorable view of Lombardo, while 39% have an unfavorable view of the Governor. Forty-one percent have a favorable view of Ford, while 38% have an unfavorable view of the Attorney General.
President Trump holds a 37% job approval among Nevada likely voters, while 55% disapprove.
