LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Three candidates for Las Vegas mayor have separated themselves from the field, but the majority of voters remain undecided as the June 11 primary election nears, according to a new poll released Thursday.

The poll also asked about support for using public money in the construction of an A’s baseball stadium, as well as Nevada voters’ opinion on the most important issue in the upcoming presidential election.

The Emerson College Polling/KLAS-TV/The Hill poll shows former U.S. Rep. Shelley Berkley (D) with the support of 16% of voters surveyed in the mayor’s race. City Councilwoman Victoria Seaman had 12% support and Councilman Cedric Crear had 7%.

Of the remaining eight candidates in the field of 11, Kara “KJ” Jenkins and Janiecia Fernandez got 2% of voters’ support. Six candidates got 1%: Deb Peck, Michael Pacino, Tera Anderson, Lynn Baird, Donna G. Miller and Daniel Joseph Chapman. Four candidates got less than 1%: Kolawole S. Akingbade, William Walls, III, Irina Hansen and Eric Thomas Medlin.

1. I'd also vote against funding the damn stadium

I've believed for years that if a team owner wants a stadium, the team is by God rich enough to fund it their damn selves---or he is!

2. Mayor's position in Las Vegas is mostly ceremonial. Locals don't really care much about the race quite frankly.

New stadium financing isn't on the ballot. It will be built with room tax revenue. Locals aren't much affected by the higher hotel room taxes.
