Vegas Jackpot: How Donald Trump Scored Nevada Win

Donald Trump's near-landslide victory in Nevada early Wednesday is the result of support he enjoys from almost every key segment of the electorate, according to the NBC News Entrance Poll. 

As in the past three contests, the real estate mogul performed best among Republican voters who were looking for a candidate who "tells it like it is," receiving 86 percent of their support.

He also did very well among those who want the next president to come from outside the political establishment, getting 70 percent of this group's vote.

Trump took 59 percent of the vote among caucus-goers who wanted a candidate who could bring about change. He was also on top among voters whose top issue was the economy (47 percent), terrorism (37 percent) and government spending (36 percent).
