Poll by Change Research shows Osborn trailing Ricketts in Nebraska by 1 point. It also mentions that Change Research has modelled a more Republican electorate this time around than the last year.

Nearly every respondent had heard of Ricketts, but only 38% viewed him favorably. Less than two-thirds of Republicans surveyed (62%) had a favorable opinion of Ricketts while 89% viewed Trump favorably, according to the poll.

Meanwhile, more than 95% of Democrats and 61% of independents surveyed by the polling firm Change Research indicated they would back Osborn over Ricketts, who won the support of 78% of Republicans surveyed

And unlike some polls that showed Osborn in a dead heat with Fischer in the waning days of last year's race, Thursday's poll does not appear to underrepresent Republicans and does not vastly underrepresent Trump voters.

Fifty-six percent of respondents identified themselves to pollsters as Republicans and 57% said they had voted in November for Trump, who won 59.6% of the vote in Nebraska. Nearly 50% of state voters are registered Republicans, while 26.4% are Democrats and 21.9% are registered nonpartisans.

Four Democrats, Case, Cuellar, Glusenenkamp-Perez and Golden voted for the "SAVE" act, which will would require documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration, bar states from counting late-arriving mail ballots, and dramatically infringe on states’ authority to run elections. While the bill doesn't have the votes to overcome a Democratic filibuster in the senate, it's still pretty galling to see it get 4 Democratic votes. Especially, the putrid Ed Case, who has no case to make that he needs to vote that way because of his district.
