Harris leads Trump by 8 points in key Nebraska district: Survey
Breitbart ^ | 08/20/2024 | Filip Timotija

Posted on 08/20/2024 1:09:04 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Vice President Harris is leading former President Trump in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District by 8 points, according to a new survey.

The poll, commissioned by GOP firm Remington Research Group, shows Harris with 50 percent support compared to Trump’s 42 percent in the eastern district encompassing the Omaha-Council Bluffs metropolitan area. The lead is outside of the poll’s margin of error.

Third-party candidates, meanwhile, received little support in the area. Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. garnered just 2 percent support; Cornell West earned 1 percent and Jill Stein and Chase Oliver each received less than 1 percent, per the poll.

The survey also showed the vice president with a higher favorability rating among respondents than the former president.

Harris, who replaced President Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket in late July, brought in 50 percent favorability while 46 percent found her unfavorable, according to the poll, first obtained by the Nebraska Examiner. Trump had a 42 percent favorability rating while 53 percent found him unfavorable.

while the 2d district of Nebraska is essential urban (Omaha, Council Bluffs), it is still Nebraska. People are not generally insane in Nebraska or the wider middle west.
I’d guess that Harris today might get 20 percent of the vote, at most.
I could be wrong.
I am not a pollsters.
But pollsters are more often wrong than right anyway so my venturing my wild speculation is not any worse.

GOP Research firm. Doubt they would release this unless it was somewhat realistic.

Metropolitan area. Dem strongholds, usually.

Again, I wouldn’t put much into any polls until around the end of September. Don’t know the internals of this one.

Dems usually win this district. This is not a surprise.

Yeah, that's Bacon's district.

Going for the single electoral vote.

Problem is that university campus.

Exactly, this is like polling in Manhattan or Philly only and saying some Dem has a lead, it literally adds no value to any conversation, sky is blue, water is wet stuff.

If you know the name Ernie Sanders....then you’d understand.

The most long running elected liberal in the state legislature comes from there. Big whoop.....

This is credible.

That district was a 2 point Trump win vs Clinton, compared to district 1 — a 20 point Trump win and District — a 50 point Trump win.

It went Biden by 6.5% in 2020. Obama also won that district.

It’s a blue leaning district with a Rino GOP representative Don Bacon.

Very little nudge to the turnout model would get a substantial Harris lead in that district.

Reminder, Nebraska splits its EVs.

By district. This is 1 EV for that district.

Omaha is the cancerous mass of Nebraska, just like every state has.

Texas likewise has its Austin.

"Dems usually win this district."

That is not correct at all.

Profile of Congressional District 2, NE

(D) presidential candidates have won NE-2 exactly 3 times since 1952 (1964, 2008, 2020).

Republicans, even RINO scum like Don Bacon, usually win here too. Republicans have won 14 of the last 15 congressional elections in this district.

This poll seems a little too optimistic towards Kamulatto, but as of now there is a better than 50-50 chance that Trump will lose this district as he did in 2020. And it's a tossup -- at best -- for Don Bacon, who is running against slimy Democrat Tony Vargas again.
