The political fortunes of Democrats Bob Kerrey and President Barack Obama appear to be tied together in Nebraska and that's bad news for Kerrey and his comeback bid for U.S. Senate, according to The World-Herald Poll.
Kerrey and Obama each trailed his respective Republican opponent by about 10 percentage points in a statewide poll of 800 registered voters.
The margin was even worse for Kerrey when the poll was narrowed to likely voters, with the former governor and two-term senator trailing Republican State Sen. Deb Fischer by 16 percentage points 56 percent to 40 percent.
