Moreover, President Joe Biden holds a 35 percent approval rating in the state. And 47-36 percent say Biden has not kept his campaign promises in Nevada.<\/p>\n<p>The poll surveyed 500 likely Nevada general election voters between April 2-6, 2022, with a margin of error of 4.4 percent. It also sampled 32 percent Democrats, 31 percent Republicans, and 35 percent independents.<\/p>\n<p>Laxalt, who is endorsed by former President Donald Trump, also has a huge\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/03\/23\/poll-trump-endorsed-adam-laxalt-mounts-huge-lead-nevada-senate-primary\/\">lead<\/a>\u00a0against his Republican primary opponent Sam Brown, according to a March poll. Laxalt leads Brown by 38 points.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Laxalt is polling better against Masto than Sam Brown, as Brown holds a single-point lead over Masto (40-39 percent), though the lead is significant in a swing state race. Biden won the state in 2020 with more than two percent of the vote.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEW: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/USATODAY?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@USATODAY<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Suffolk_U?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Suffolk_U<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>2022 Nevada Senate Poll:<br \/>Adam Laxalt (R): 43% (+3)<br \/>Catherine Cortez Masto (D): 40%<br \/>.<br \/>Sam Brown (R): 40% (+1)<br \/>Catherine Cortez Masto (D): 39%<\/p>\n<p>State Sample: D32\/R31\/I35<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tF41CZ4Ixz\">https:\/\/t.co\/tF41CZ4Ixz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 InteractivePolls (@IAPolls2022) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IAPolls2022\/status\/1513868995811753986?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 12, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Laxalt\u2019s surge is likely due to him highlighting issues such as border security and election integrity on the campaign trail.
