Rasmussen (9/30, likely voters, 7/28 in parens):
Scott Kleeb (D): 38 (34)
Mike Johanns (R): 52 (60)
(MoE: ±4.5%)
A 26-point gap becomes a 14-point gap in two months.
A little bit of spark left in this one? This is Johanns’ weakest performance since Rasmussen started polling this race (although Kleeb’s been higher — with a 44% performance in May). Also, while Johanns still posts higher favorable numbers than Kleeb, they’re not quite as monster-sized as they have been in the past: 59-34, down from 70-27 in July. Kleeb’s favorable/unfavorable rating has climbed up to 52-32, a fair spot better than his 48-37 rating in July.
A tough race, but it’s still worth watching.
I was very interested in this charismatic, progressive candidate but ultimately blew him off because the cause seemed hopeless. I’m that kind of fair-weather friend, apparently. But now the campaign doesn’t seem hopeless anymore, just a challenge. I’m going to send Kleeb a donation today.
and running a good campaign.
This is a race we can win. It’s a super cheap market so if the DSCC got involved it would be very cheap to make this close.
Kleeb needs money though. So donate.
Recalling my earlier comment that it was about to fall off.
Has anyone seen any numbers showing how Obama is doing in the Omaha Congressional district?
14% still isnt good enough. Landrieu is down about that much and we all consider her safe now. She is going to win and so is Johanns. This is the final month and I’m only including on my list of seats races that we look like we could win.
When do we get to have another Senate line?
in 1996 to Bill Nelson at this time in 1996 and he won that race by 56%-42%.
Since he is a hope for the future and the media market is so cheap there, the DSCC should get involved even if hopes are slim.
We need to keep this guy “up there”.
