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...
We’ll have more editorial board meetings with federal tri-state officeseekers for about two more weeks, with expectations of sitting down with Tom Harkin, Mike Johanns, Stephanie Herseth Sandlin and possibly Tim Johnson. Yesterday was a doubleheader edit board day, with Congressman Steve King and Scott Kleeb, the Democrat seeking the [...]
Associated Press - September 16, 2008 LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Scott Kleeb says his Republican opponent failed Nebraskans on mental health care reform as governor. Kleeb says it was when Mike Johanns was governor that the state started shifting from regional centers to community-based care. Johanns, Kleeb and Green Party candidate Steve Larrick debated in Lincoln
Scott Kleeb-- with Darcy Burner and Charlie Brown behind him Early yesterday someone told me that former Nebraska Governor Mike Johanns, who served as Bush's Agriculture Secretary, was finally so embarrassed by the bribe money he had taken from Alaska's crooked (and indicted) Senator Ted Stevens, that he felt compelled to return all the money from Stevens' Northern Lights PAC, a Republican Party money...
The Hotline's Quinn McCord sat down with NE SEN nominee Scott Kleeb (D) on 8/25 to discuss his race with ex-Gov./ex-Ag. Sec. Mike Johanns (R). Kleeb said that, if elected, his priorities would be to tackle healthcare and energy issues, but naturally our focus was on the politics of the campaign. Q: Was NE-03 in ’06 a winnable race, and what lessons did you learn from the experience? Kleeb: “The two...
Candidates for an open U.S. Senate seat in Nebraska faced off at the state fair in Lincoln this weekend and ethanol was a topic of debate. Republican Mike Johanns, Democrat Scott Kleeb and Green Party candidate Steve Larrick all discussed the important issues of energy, climate change and renewable fuels - although most of the sparks [...]
There is your wildcard pick, ladies and gentlemen. (A) Governor. Check. (B) Federal experience. Check. (C) Catholic voter appeal. Check. (D) Mid-west appeal. Check. (E) No chance his state goes blue if he drops out of his current race. Check. (F) Close to a must win swing state (Colorado) and popular. Check. Has anyone asked Johanns if McCain vetted him? I'm sure the Nebraska GOP could find someone...
At this point early in the week, we know two Democrats wanting to be U.S. Senators come January 2009 will have events in Siouxland. One, Tom Harkin, is already a senator serving Iowa, while the other, Scott Kleeb, wants to defeat Republican Mike Johanns to get the Nebraska senatorial seat. Kleeb [...]
Rasmussen (7/28, likely voters, 6/23 in parens): Scott Kleeb (D) : 34 (33) Mike Johanns (R-inc) : 60 (60) (MoE: ±4.5%) I've included "leaners" in the above numbers (because, really, there's no point in not doing so). The story lies in the favorability numbers, where Johanns has a monster 70-27 rating. Kleeb's numbers, not surprisingly, are much lower: 48-37. It's going to take some serious dynamite...
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:...
Nebraskans wanting Green Party candidate Steve Larrick to take part in the U.S. Senate debates can rest easy. After being excluded from the debate that Republican Mike Johanns and Democrat Scott Kleeb participated in before the American Legion Boys State members, Larrick [...]
The Nebraska Green Party will hold its 2008 convention tomorrow in Benson, an Omaha suburb. The event will include an appearance by Steve Larrick , the Green Party candidate for the U.S. Senate seat for which Republican Mike Johanns and Democrat Scott Kleeb will [...]
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...
