New poll numbers presented at the Nebraska Chamber/Omaha Chamber/Lincoln Chamber Legislative Summit at the Air & Space museum today.
“We Ask America” (the outfit who called Nebraska’s GOP primary race a week out) show....

Deb Fisher (R) 55% Bob Kerrey (D) 34%
(+/- 2.756%) Survey of 1,273 likely voters, Aug. 14th.
10% of Repubs supporting Kerrey 14% of Dems supporting Fischer 15% of independents undecided.
NE-02 race:
Lee Terry (R) 46% John Ewing (D) 40%
(+/- 2.96%) Survey of 1,097, Aug. 14th.
23% of independents undecided 17% of Dems supporting Terry 9% of Repubs supporting Ewing.
Bob retired from the Senate because,in his words,he needed to recharge his soul.
Then he moved to the Upper East Side of Manhattan to do it.
I can’t believe he has 34% support.
Here’s an ad idea for the Fisher campaign: An ad to the tune of “Welcome Back, Kotter”, showing Kerrey returning to Nebraska after retiring to NYC when he left the Senate. Welcome back, Kerrey! Your dreams were your ticket out. Welcome back. To that same hick state that you laughed about.
How is Romeny doing in NE 2? Is this the district 0bama won in 2008 for his share of the EV?
Deb Fisher (R) 55% Bob Kerrey (D) 34%
Holy!!
Good news. GOP candidates have big leads in WI, MO, and NE Senate races.
That's kind of like going to hell because you need a ski vacation to cool off, isn't it?
I believe that Berg will also win in ND and that we might have a chance to have the first GOP US Senator from Hawaii since the late Sen Hiram Fong.
Pardon my cluelessness, but would NE be a GOP senate pick up?
Yes.
yes.
Yes. Ben Nelson (remember the Cornhusker kickback? - he was bribed into being the last/deciding vote to pass 0bamacare) will be retiring. Not that he could have been re-elected if he had run.
Kerrey should never have agreed to this run (nomination). And I feel a bit bad for him because he’s a true military hero and often stood up to his party’s worst excesses.
Nebraska Democrats would have been wise to simply “tank this set” (to use an old tennis expression). They weren’t and aren’t gonna win this one. They should have nominated someone who is a young up-and-comer, get him or her some name recognition and practice in an eventual 10-points-or-more loss to Fischer. But no: they got desperate and begged New Yorker Bob Kerrey to agree to move BACK to their state.
Unfortunately for Kerrey, he listened.
Soul? A democrat?
Wouldn’t he have had to re-purchase it first in order to recharge it?
Is NE-2 the district where barky won an EV?
What happened to it in redistricting? Hope it didn’t get even more blue!
Obama won NE-2 by 2000 votes. Redistricting has given NE-2 a few more thousand GOP registered voters.
Congressman Lee Terry is in a close race (current polls has him leading by six)
