Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama leads Republican John McCain by five points among likely voters in Nevada, according to a new poll released Friday.

Rasmussen Reports said Obama has the support of 50 percent of likely voters, with McCain getting support from 45 percent. Obama led by four points in a Rasmussen poll earlier this month.

Obama is viewed favorably by 53 percent of likely Nevada voters, McCain by 52 percent. Obama’s ratings are unchanged from the previous survey while McCain's are down two points, Rasmussen said.

The poll has a margin of error of 4 percent and was conducted in a survey of 700 voters.
