Nevada's dueling primary and caucuses are underway: What to know

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : With all of those other Republican presidential hopefuls ending their campaigns over the last month, Trump and Haley are now the only realistic contenders for the caucuses and the primary, respectively.
54% : That's because of the non-competitive nature of the current Democratic presidential field and the rapidly winnowing Republican field, coupled with the somewhat convoluted dueling contests that have made the results of the GOP primary and caucuses even more predictable.
44% : "There have been multiple Republicans that have come in here and were upset -- or confused -- when they found that Trump wasn't on the ballot," said Jill Douglass, a member of the Nevada Republican Party who has been volunteering at a polling location in Las Vegas during the early primary voting period.
44% : Acero, who said she voted for Republican Sen. Ted Cruz during the 2016 presidential caucuses and voted for a third-party candidate during that year's general election, has changed her mind about Trump after seeing him as president and will be caucusing for him on Thursday.
33% : Why are there different ballots?"Douglass told ABC News that there was even a voter who came into change his party affiliation to vote for Trump in the Republican primary, only to find out Trump is not on the primary ballot -- and even worse, the voter won't be able to participate in the Republican caucuses because he would have had to change his affiliation by Jan. 9.
28% : Some Republicans even accused the state GOP of favoring Trump by pushing caucuses -- whose more intricate rules were seen to be leaning toward the former president, given his deep ties in Nevada -- while the party leadership pushed back against such allegations, saying it's just how they've been doing presidential elections for a long time.
27% : MORE: Nevada primary moves expose intraparty strife, concerns of a Trump-friendly processEventually, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum had filed to be on the caucus ballot other than Trump, and former Vice President Mike Pence and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott put their name on the primary ballot, other than Haley.
27% : MORE: 'Who the hell does he think he is?': Biden goes after Trump's rhetoric in NevadaFor some Republican voters, Trump has been both the motivating factor and a demotivating factor when it comes to participating in the now non-competitive contests this week.
26% : For months, the Republican Party and the Trump campaign have been trying to educate voters about the fact that delegates are awarded only through the caucuses -- with the party sending out mailers and fliers and Trump himself at rallies telling supporters not to waste their time at the primary and instead come out to caucus for him on Thursday.
19% : Still, if it ends up being another rematch between Trump and Biden, she said she'd vote for Trump.
17% : Haley's campaign manager, Betsy Ankeny, has told reporters that the state has never been a priority for them and claimed the caucuses are "rigged for Trump.
16% : Also on the minds of many Democrats who were walking out of a polling location during early voting in a non-competitive primary contest: Trump."We cannot have Trump, whatever it takes to do that," Anthony Nyitray said about his decision to cast his ballot early last week.
