Omaha World Herald, NE Senate: Fischer (R) 56%, Kerrey (D) 43% Likely Voters

[bripat9643]

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.

Looks like Fischer's lead hasn't changed much since the last poll. Can pretty much call this race a GOP gain.
