Real Clear Politics is reporting 1% of the vote, showing:

Sanders 46.1, Biden 19.2, Buttigieg 7.8, Steyer 11.2 (weird!), Klobuchar 3.8, Warren 9.8, Gabbard 0.2 (what the hell is Tulsi still doing in this race????)

I have no idea. Candidates with a hell of a lot higher approval than hers dropped out.
 
Gabbard is still prepping her 3rd party run.
 
Unrelated note: Clinton Eastwood announced that he is no longer supporting Donald Trump, and he is asking Republicans to vote for Mike Bloomberg.

Interesting.
 
With 16% of the vote in Bernie is killing it. Biden in second and Steyer in third.

And what credentials does a humiliating result with 0.2% of the vote deliver to her for a 3rd party run???

One fifth of one percent of voters in one half of the electorate want her... and she thinks she can put together a successful third party run?

16%? From what source do you have 16% of the vote in? RCP supposedly in real time (the vote total keeps changing) is still showing 1% in.

I am watching FOX and that is what they are reporting.
 
17% of vote in and Sanders is in the lead with over 48% of the vote.

That is strange. I see it now. Fox News is reporting 17% in but with a total of 1,208 votes for Sanders, while RCP is reporting the same total of 1,208 votes for Sanders but says it's 1% of the vote.

The number reported by Fox News makes little sense because it would mean, with the others, some 2,500 votes, if this is close to 20% it would mean a turnout of say, 15,000 voters when the Nevada caucus draws in more than 100,000 voters and 75,000 people have already voted early.

19% in and Bernie is running away with it with over 47% of the vote and Biden in a distant 2nd.

I'm not sure where you are seeing 17% in, but all outlets, including Fox, only have 1% of the vote so far. Sanders is indeed leading big though.
 
The Fox News website says only 1% of the vote is in.
 
Again, Fox News is not making any sense, they are reporting almost 20% in but with a total of 2,684 votes, so the total number of caucus goers/voters would have to be about 13,500 which makes no sense whatsoever.

Fox News on live TV says they have 19% in but it makes no sense as it would give a total of 13,500 for 100% and we know that in early vote alone there were 75,000 voters. Maybe it's 1.9% and some idiot forgot to include the decimal point.
 
1.34% of the votes are in and his lead will almost certainly level out, but Jesus, a 30% lead is a hell of a foot to start out on.
 
It's almost 3:00 pm mountain standard time...

Like I stated I am watching FOX live coverage.
 
Nevada Dem party is withholding results so far. This time in the day back in 2016 they had 54% reported. Today... 0%.
 
If these numbers hold, though, it would be a full disaster for the others because only Sanders and Biden would accrue delegates. If the same happens in South Carolina these other campaigns will be failing even before Super Tuesday (Bloomberg is still not running in SC).
 
Ppolling Numbers using entrance polling puts up this projection of the final results:

51% of caucus goers in Nevada have never attended a caucus before. This is an interesting piece of information, showing renewed interest in the race.
