From Fringe Candidate to Front-Runner: Sanders Wins Nevada With Diverse
Backers

Reuters

   NEW YORK - U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, often maligned by opponents as
   a liberal outsider who cannot unify the Democratic Party, won the
   party's Nevada caucuses by a comfortable margin thanks to a diverse
   coalition of supporters, according to polling agency Edison Research.

   Edison, which compiles voter polls and live election results for media
   organizations including ABC News, CBS News, CNN, NBC News and Reuters,
   found Sanders won the largest share of whites and nonwhite
   caucus-goers.

   Hispanics in particular-- who account for nearly one-third of Nevada's
   population-- loomed large in his victory as he claimed support from
   more than half of the Latinos attending Saturday's caucuses.
