A poll conducted for Republican Rep. Don Bacon found he leads by 9 points in a House race Democrats have pegged as their best pick-up opportunity in Nebraska.
Bacon led Democrat Kara Eastman 49 percent to 40 percent, with 9 percent undecided, according to a telephone survey of 400 registered voters conducted by Rob Autry and Kayla Dunlap.
Republicans have held the 2nd District, which encompasses Omaha and contains some of Nebraska’s few pockets of Democratic strength for the better part of the last quarter century — barring two years Democrat Brad Ashford was in office from 2014 to 2016. President Trump carried the district by 3 points in 2016.

With a name like that he must be a hog farmer
Interesting indeed.
I actually thought this Omaha district would be a tough hold. Perhaps the rats put up a lousy candidate???
Go US Air Force!

I can’t find a website or article that tells you what the blank is going on with the house races. All it says is that you have all these toss ups, with the dems now ahead with 205 to our 195 or something like that.
It seems they’d have to run the table to come out ahead.
The worst case scenario has us retaining the house by one person.
I find that hard to believe.
These crazy than bat crap democrats don’t end up voting.
Kara Eastman is a major moonbat. Bacon is a retired Brigadier General in the Air Force. He is my representative so you can bet I am motivated to get out and vote November 6th.
Bacon. The name alone gives him a 5 point edge. If one has the choice between Bacon and a non-Bacon name on the ballot, everyone is going to go with Bacon. It’s like a subliminal message. Mmm, Bacon.
but, but...Kavanaugh
The Kavanaugh debacle, and it was a completely debacle for the Dems, even though they seem incapable of seeing it... took ANY, ANY, ANY shot at taking the house next month OFF THE TABLE.. PERIOD...
Their behavior in the entire affair not only engaged the republican base fully, which had been pretty apathetic... but more importantly, ENGAGED AND ANGERED the casual, non traditional, independent, etcs....
All they managed to do was “Awake a sleeping giant, and fill him with terrible resolve”...
The one thing neither party in this country can do, and survive, is PISS OFF THE MIDDLE! And the Democrats behavior completely ANGERED THE HELL OUT OF THE MIDDLE!! They are now fully engaged, and will EASILY break 2 to 1 against the Democrats, this fall.
The Dems still think to this day, that this FIASCO helped them.... that CNN interview with the women where none of them bought into the MSM line that Kavanaugh should not be on the court... that wasn’t a fluke, or coincidence, that is where women (other than the radical left wingers) are... they aren’t buying any of this... and know the Dems abused Ms Ford, and Kavanaugh in a raw power grab that harmed everyone involved and harmed future victims as well...
The DEMS are going to be STEAMROLLED in November... and they will sit there jaws agape election night, just like they were 2 years ago..
“With a name like that he must be a hog farmer”
Or he’s just a typical Congressman, bringing home the ‘bacon’.
And who doesn’t like bacon...
I heard on Rush that Politico has the Dems winning 209 races...really? Do they talk to people in Maine or New Hampshire or other rural Congressional districts?
This one was out of real danger when the Bernie Sanders nutjob won the rat primary over the former rat Representative
I drove up to Maine this past weekend and attended the Fryeburg Fair, “Maine’s Blue Ribbon Classic”. One of the very best fairs I’ve ever attended. Also, 100% Trump country.
