NE-Omaha World Herald: Kerrey down by only 3

[Talleyrand]

This is NOT an internal poll for Kerrey. It was done by one of Nebraska's premier newspapers, and is not partisan spin.

This is probably their registered voter sample, so he's probably down further among likely voters (I'd guess 7-8), but I'm glad he'll probably put in a respectable performance even as he loses. I really like Kerrey and hope that this is an indicator he can avoid an embarrassing blowout.

Omaha World Herald does internal polling? I hope you guys are right! If this is actually a dead heat, this will be the most spectacular failure for a party in a single cycle ever. And just remember: the GOP takeover was "inevitable" in 2012. This year is another example of why cockiness/speaking with absolute confidence years in advance is totally asinine.

Aside from this being a disaster for the GOP (again, if true), it would also mean a possible victory for a man that should never win anything ever. Not after his disgusting comment.

I do agree that the comment was quite bizarre and rude, but it's not something that should disqualify Kerrey from holding public office.

Is Deb Fisher really THAT BAD candidate that this race is becoming close? Nebraska is not Delaware, Nevada, nor even Indiana and I did not expect Kerrey to perform so well now.

Apparently so, considering Kerrey's lived in New York City for a decade, she's running in a deep-red state, was leading by close to 20 points, and has little baggage on paper.
