Gov. Jim Pillen could face something foreign to modern Nebraska Republicans running for governor in the ruby-red state: a consequential general election race, if a new poll done on behalf of his likely opponent proves true.

The poll, done by North Carolina-based Public Policy Polling for former Democratic State Sen. Lynne Walz of Fremont, Pillen’s presumptive general election opponent, found him below the 50% support level for incumbents that pollsters typically consider vital.
The telephone, text and online survey of 670 state voters from April 6-7 found 38% support for Pillen, 33% support for Walz and double-digit support for Legal Marijuana NOW Party candidate Rick Beard. It listed a 3.8% margin of error.

The last time a Nebraska Democrat registered that close in a gubernatorial poll from a polling firm with a solid national reputation was the 1990s, which was also the last time the state’s minority party held the seat with Ben Nelson.

Nelson, who has endorsed Walz, told the Examiner on Tuesday that he sees the kinds of conditions that could make for a real race — difficulties balancing the state budget and a governor he said has divided people from different parts of the state.
