Ben Nelson’s Poll Numbers Collapse
December 31, 2009
From Senate Conservatives Fund: Judging by this recent poll, pork-barrel politics may not be as effective as Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) thought. After he traded his vote on the health care bill for an earmark — now known as the Cornhusker Kickback — his popularity at home has collapsed.
If Governor Dave Heineman challenges Nelson for the Senate job, a new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows the Republican would get 61% of the vote while Nelson would get just 30%. Nelson was reelected to a second Senate term in 2006 with 64% of the vote.
The only good news for Sen. Nelson is that he isn’t up for re-election until 2012. But don’t worry, we won’t forget.
Editor’s note: Why wait until 2012? Nebraska citizens need to look into a recall of Nelson for his obvious sell-out on the unpopular government health care legislation. What a slut!
