Ricketts leads Osborn 49-43 in Times/Siena Nebraska Senate poll
Siena posted Times/Siena likely-voter toplines: Sen. Pete Ricketts 49 percent, independent Dan Osborn 43 percent. The Times said that is a six-point lead.
A New York Times/Siena University poll of likely Nebraska voters, posted Saturday by the Siena Research Institute, showed Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts at 49 percent and independent Dan Osborn at 43 percent1,2.
The Times said Ricketts holds a six-point lead over Osborn, who is seeking to unseat him1. Siena listed the same Senate split and did not publish a sample size or margin of error on its post2.
Siena also listed Gov. Jim Pillen, a Republican, at 53 percent and Democrat Lynne Walz at 40 percent, and a generic Republican U.S. House candidate at 54 percent versus a Democratic candidate at 35 percent2.
What remains unknown from Siena’s posted toplines is the share of undecided voters, the margin of error, and any crosstabs2. The Times linked to interactive toplines and crosstabs that were not readable for this filing1.
