So, he might do a little better in rural non-southern, non-energy states than he even did in 2008. Not enough to put money there, but he could get like 43-56 instead of 42-57, even if he goes to 52-47 from 53-46 nationally. Omaha may vote for him again...it might be one EV where he actually consolidates instead of leaks support....so NE might go to R +11 to R +9...and in 2004, it was like R +15.

This is effectively no change from 2008, and considering it's a Rasmussen poll, Obama is probably ahead in the new NE-02. (Even accounting for minor redistricting changes there).

[Invisible Obama]

This bodes well for the President winning NE-2 again.

I still can't imagine Kerrey doing worse than Obama.

[Senator Snowstalker]

Didn't the GOP there decide to stop splitting electoral votes?

[Andrew1]

The bill died in committee in 2011. I don't know why they were so worried. It's incredibly unlikely that NE-02 would be Obama's 270th electoral vote.
