This is good news. But I wish that someone other than Jon Bruning were challenging Hagel in the GOP primary.
So does Hagel. If more than one serious Republican challenges him, he'll almost assuredly win the nomination with a plurality of the vote.
For the record, 100% of this Nebraska conservative disapproves of Hagel.
This survey is being done on behalf of the Demoncratic party so they can figure out if they can sneak another of their candidates into office. Nebraska has a long history of two strong Republicans battling it out in the primary. The losing one refuses to close ranks after the primary and either throws his support to the Demoncrat or recommends his supporters to stay home or write in his name.
In either case, the Demoncrat slips in with about 40% of the vote. I have seen it happen over and over. I believe it will happen with Hagel if he loses the primary.
