Title: NE/PPP: Nelson heading towards Blanche Lincoln levels of support Post by: JohnnyLongtorso on February 01, 2011, 06:01:04 PM http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_NE_02011118.pdf
Jon Bruning (R) - 50 Ben Nelson (D) - 39 Ben Nelson (D) - 42 Deb Fischer (R) - 35 Ben Nelson (D) - 42 Pat Flynn (R) - 33 Don Stenberg (R) - 45 Ben Nelson (D) - 41 Nelson's approval is 39/50. Bruning is the current AG, Flynn is a financial advisor, Fischer serves in the legislature, Stenberg is the former AG and current Treasurer who Nelson beat in 2000.

It'll be fun to see if Nelson displaces Lincoln.
Title: Re: NE/PPP: Nelson heading towards Blanche Lincoln levels of support Post by: Niemeyerite on February 02, 2011, 11:28:41 AM I don't think nelson will lose as badly as lincoln. obama will be at the top of the ticket this time, and he'll get between 40 and 45% of the vote. I don't think obama will "lose better" than Nelson xD

If Blanche Lincoln stuck around after a good year and ten months of unfortunate polling, Nelson has no room to complain.

If Blanche Lincoln stuck around after a good year and ten months of unfortunate polling, Nelson has no room to complain. Her situation didn't get untenable till late 2009.

And Nebraska is tougher for a Democrat than Nevada. And it will be a Presidential election year with Obama at the top of the ticket. Title: Re: NE/PPP: Nelson heading towards Blanche Lincoln levels of support Post by: bgwah on February 04, 2011, 02:33:12 AM Is Nelson actually running again? I thought he was retiring (and almost retired in 2006!).

I thought he was retiring (and almost retired in 2006!). He's going for it, apparently.

And Nebraska is tougher for a Democrat than Nevada. And it will be a Presidential election year with Obama at the top of the ticket. That's more of an advantage than a disadvantage to Nelson, seeing as how Obama did better in Nebraska than one would have expected. But I'll add my own... Ben Nelson ain't Harry Reid.

That's more of an advantage than a disadvantage to Nelson, seeing as how Obama did better in Nebraska than one would have expected. Sure, in 2008. If things are anything like they are now...

I thought he was retiring (and almost retired in 2006!). He's going for it, apparently. He's one of the best-funded incumbents going into 2012, I'm not sure of any other ambitions he would have with the money outside of reelection ... he's already been governor of his state and it's exhausting raising that kind of dough Title: Re: NE/PPP: Nelson heading towards Blanche Lincoln levels of support Post by: Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers on February 05, 2011, 07:47:56 AM The Dems dont have anyone to take on Bruning they might as well just write off the Dakotas and Nebraska.

Bruning's going to bring all three states in for the GOP (despite one of them not even having a Senate election this year)? Impressive.

Bruning's going to bring all three states in for the GOP (despite one of them not even having a Senate election this year)? Impressive. I had a good lol at that, my friend. Title: Re: NE/PPP: Nelson heading towards Blanche Lincoln levels of support Post by: Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers on February 07, 2011, 03:44:17 PM I am assuming SD will fall as well in 2014
Title: Re: NE/PPP: Nelson heading towards Blanche Lincoln levels of support Post by: rbt48 on February 11, 2011, 09:27:57 PM The polls have it right. Bruning would defeat Nelson. I doubt Stenberg would. I think most Nebraskans are tired of him running for office.
I'd bet Nelson will run. There really isn't a credible Democrat in the state to run in his place. Well, perhaps if Bob Kerrey comes home, he could make a run for the seat. That might be the best hope for Democrats. Title: Re: NE/PPP: Nelson heading towards Blanche Lincoln levels of support Post by: Napoleon on February 12, 2011, 07:43:33 AM Not only is Bob Kerrey much more progressive, he's probably a stronger candidate. I'd trade both Nebraska Senators to have Kerrey and Hagel back.
Title: Re: NE/PPP: Nelson heading towards Blanche Lincoln levels of support Post by: Brittain33 on February 12, 2011, 06:52:35 PM How long has it been since Kerrey has lived in Nebraska? I thought he's been full-time in NY for ages.
