Poll on Gov Race

OWH.

"U.S. Rep. Tom Osborne received 44 percent support, while Gov. Dave Heineman received 43 percent in the telephone survey done on behalf of Republican Senate candidate Pete Ricketts.
The third candidate for governor, Dave Nabity, got 6 percent, and 7 percent of respondents said they were undecided."

Interesting that Heineman has been airing TV spots and apparently closed the race to neck and neck. Disappointing Nabity doesn't have the money to compete, although I have to give him credit for doing a good job of getting his message across on a shoestring budget.

The poll may not be very indicative however. The article indicates it was the same poll described here conducted by the Ricketts Senate campaign by telephone -- 501 "likely GOP" voters were surveyed. Error rate was 4%. Naturally, it showed Pete leading the Senate race. By 10 points over Stenberg, and Kramer a ton behind. I'm naturally a little cynical of pollsters given the way data can be "massaged" to show what you want to show.
