Fischer's Support Plummets as Nebraskans Learn the Facts of Her Land Grab and Budget Proposals


OMAHA – The Omaha World Herald released a new poll in its Sunday edition further confirming that the Senate race is a dead heat. The poll shows Senator Bob Kerrey with 45 percent and Deb Fischer with 48 percent. The poll is within the 3.5 percent margin of error.

The World Herald said "Kerrey is now within striking distance." The new poll verifies previous polls from the Kerrey Campaign and Pharos Research Group that also showed the margin in low single digits recently.

Kerrey Campaign Manager Paul Johnson said the poll results reflect the fact that Nebraska voters are paying more attention and learning more about the candidates.

"Nebraskans are gravitating quickly to Senator Kerrey as they learn more about his plans to work across party lines to address our nation's significant issues," Johnson said. "Likewise, Deb Fischer's support is plummeting as Nebraskans learn about her attempts to take land from her elderly neighbors and her subsequent abuse of power as a member of the Nebraska Legislature.

A lot of them need to consider what she would do in power to them as well. One of the most repugnant thefts ever.

...but it's Kerrey, not Kerry.

And I hope he's bringing his background in as an MOH receipient and Navy SEAL into the discussion.
