Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton Tied Ahead of Nevada Caucus
--------------------------------------------------------------

In more news from the campaign trail, new polls find Democratic
candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are in a dead heat heading
into the Nevada caucus this weekend. A new CNN poll shows 48 percent of
likely voters support former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, while
47 percent support Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. In what's being seen
as a victory for Bernie Sanders, the most powerful labor union in
Nevada, the Culinary Workers Union, has decided to withhold its
endorsement ahead of the caucus. It had been assumed that the
57,000-member union would endorse Hillary Clinton.
