The summer poll conducted by the Fischer campaign shows U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer and former President Donald Trump leading in Nebraska. Fischer holds a significant lead over her competitors, with 50% support from likely voters. On the other hand, Dan Osborn, a nonpartisan union leader, trails behind with 24% support. Osborn’s campaign, however, remains optimistic and plans to gather signatures to appear on the fall ballot.
In the presidential race, Trump leads over President Joe Biden statewide, with the polls also focusing on the Omaha-based 2nd Congressional District. The district, which drew national attention, was tied at 42% between Trump and Biden. The survey indicates potential trouble for Biden in this district, which he won in 2020.
Additionally, the poll took a peek at the House race between Republican incumbent Rep. Don Bacon and State Sen. Tony Vargas. Bacon currently leads by 3 percentage points, although both candidates have substantial funds to run their campaigns. Vargas raised $1.36 million in the second quarter, while Bacon raised $970,000.
Overall, the poll results suggest a strong lead for Fischer and Trump in Nebraska, while highlighting key races in the state, including the Senate and House races. The upcoming elections will be closely watched, especially with the unpredictability of the 2nd Congressional District and the competitiveness between Bacon and Vargas.
