In the race for the White House, Nevada is too close to call.

The first Rasmussen Reports Election 2004 survey in the state finds George W. Bush with 47% of the vote, John Kerry with 46%, and Libertarian Michael Badnarik with 3%.

This moves Nevada to the "Toss-Up" column for our Electoral College projection. Four years ago, Bush won the state by four percentage points, 50% to 46%.

Fifty-one percent (51%) of Nevada voters Approve of the way President Bush is performing his job. That's close to his national Job Approval rating. However, just 45% believe the country is generally heading in the right direction.

Regardless of who they want to win the election, 47% of Nevada voters believe the President will be re-elected. Forty-one percent (41%) think Kerry will win.

Nevada voters are a bit more likely to trust Bush rather than Kerry on managing the economy. However, they are also slightly more likely to trust Kerry when it comes to creating jobs.

Data for Nevada will be updated again early next month.
