Mitt Romney must like his chances in the Republican caucuses in Nevada on Saturday, entrance poll results in the state suggest.
Romney may benefit from the large number of Republicans in the state who share his faith. About one in four voters in Nevada's Republican caucuses were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, according to entrance poll data analyzed by Langer Research Associates for ABC News.
The number was roughly the same in 2008, when "Romney won 95 percent of Mormons in the 2008 caucuses," Gary Langer of ABC News reports.
Four years ago, Romney won the state's Republican caucuses with 51 percent of the vote. For weeks, public-opinion polls have showed Romney with a comfortable 20-percentage point lead in Nevada.
Twenty-eight delegates will be doled out proportionately based on the caucus results.
The candidates now turn to caucuses in Colorado and Minnesota on Tuesday.
Missouri, where Gingrich failed to get his name on the ballot, will hold a non-binding primary on Tuesday.
