Nebraska's Scott Kleeb is the pretty-boy of Nebraska politics. Having lost a bid only 2 years ago for a House seat he's now out campaigning for a shot at Nebraska's open Senate seat against Republican Mike Johanns . If the polls are to be believed, Kleeb is down by at least 27 points against Johanns. However, that's not stopping the progressive jagoffs at DK from making Kleeb a contender, nor does...

Rasmussen (6/23, likely voters, 5/15 in parens): Scott Kleeb (D) : 33 (40) Mike Johanns (R) : 60 (55) (MoE: ±4.5%) Another wild bounce from Rasmussen, but the new numbers are very much in line with a Research 2000 poll from May that had Johanns leading by 58-31. Johanns remains very popular in Nebraska, with a 73-23 favorability rating. Kleeb, for his part, has good (but more down-to-earth) numbers:...

In case you missed it. Research 2000 for Daily Kos (5/19-21, likely voters, 11/12-14 in parens): Scott Kleeb (D) : 31 (28) Mike Johanns (R) : 58 (59) (MoE: ?4) Those are some rough numbers for Kleeb, who might have been expected to get a bit of a bounce from trouncing Tony Raimondo in the state's May 13 primary -- yet, 50% of voters have "no opinion" of him. A recent Rasmussen poll pegged this race...

Rasmussen sure has a lot of good news for us lately (likely voters, 5/15): Scott Kleeb (D) : 40 Mike Johanns (R) : 55 (MoE: ?4%) This race is definitely one of the longer shots of 2008, but Kleeb at 40% is definitely a strong position for a Nebraska Democrat to start off at, especially against a popular former Governor like Johanns, who is viewed favorably by 65% of the state's voters. Kleeb's favorables...

Mike Johanns, Nebraska Democrats decided on Tuesday to nominate darling of the left-wing blogosphere Scott Kleeb rather than DSCC Chairman Chuck Schumer recruit businessman and former Republican Tony Raimondo. In fairness, Kleeb overperformed in Nebraska’s solidly [...]
