Nebraska Senate Race Tightens As Election Day Draws Closer

Republican Sen. Deb Fischer has a narrow lead in the Nebraska Senate race against independent opponent Dan Osborn with just eight days left until the election, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll released Monday.

Fischer is leading by two percentage points at 48% percent to Osborn’s 46%, according to the poll. Among likely voters surveyed in Nebraska, 5% either refused to answer or said that they were undecided voters, according to the poll.

Former President Donald Trump is leading in Nebraska by 15 percentage points at 55%, while Vice President Kamala Harris trails behind at 40%, according to the poll. Harris is leading among the state’s independent voters by 10 percentage points, according to the poll results.

“This race is neck-and-neck, but make no mistake, the momentum is on our side,” Osborn said in a statement shared with the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation. “Deb Fischer has spent 12 years doing the bidding of her corporate donors while leaving hardworking Nebraskans behind, and in 8 days, Nebraskans will come together to fire her and her self-serving agenda once and for all.”

Democrats have led a push to flip the Senate seats in various red states, including Nebraska, Texas and Florida. Several far-left dark money groups have helped to fund Osborn’s senate campaign.
