STOP. ALL RIGHT. WE’RE JUST 41 DAYS FROM THE ELECTION. AND THE RACE FOR THE U-S SENATE IS A HOT ONE. THANKS FOR JOINING US. I’M ROB MCCARTNEY. I’M JULIE CORNELL. A NEW POLL SUGGESTS REPUBLICAN DEB FISCHER AND INDEPENDENT DAN OSBORNE ARE IN A TIGHT RACE WITH OSBORNE UP ONE POINT. BOTH CANDIDATES NOW USING MILLIONS TO SWAY YOUR VOTE. KETV NEWSWATCH SEVEN’S AARON HAGGERTY IS HERE WITH MORE ON THAT. AARON. YEAH. ROB. JULIE. THERE’S ANOTHER INDICATOR THE ELECTION IS CLOSE. MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ARE BEING PUT INTO THIS CONTEST FROM SUPER PACS. NOT ONLY THE CAMPAIGNS I OFFERED INTERVIEWS TO BOTH OSBORNE AND FISCHER, AND THE FISCHER CAMPAIGN SAID THE SENATOR WAS BUSY WORKING IN D.C. TODAY, BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET OSBORNE’S REACTION TO THE POLL. COMMERCIALS LIKE THIS NEW ONE SEEM TO BE HELPING DAN OSBORNE BUILD HIS NAME RECOGNITION. A MONTH AGO, A SURVEYUSA POLL SHOWED 47% OF NEBRASKANS SAID THEY DON’T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT OSBORNE TO SAY IF THEY LIKE HIM OR NOT. COMPARE THAT TO THEIR NEW POLL RELEASED TUESDAY. 24% SAID THEY WEREN’T SURE IF THEY LIKED OSBORNE IN THE POLL OF 558, LIKELY NEBRASKA VOTERS FOR BOTH OSBORNE AND FISCHER, 48% HAD A FAVORABLE OPINION. 28% VIEWED OSBORNE UNFAVORABLY, COMPARED TO FISCHER’S 42%. IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO A 45 TO 44% ADVANTAGE FOR OSBORNE, WELL WITHIN A FIVE POINT MARGIN OF ERROR. YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE MOST COMPETITIVE SENATE RACE IN THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW. AND, YOU KNOW, WE CAN WIN THIS THING. OSBORNE ISN’T SURPRISED BY THE POLL. IT’S BASICALLY SAYING THE SAME THING. THE FIVE OTHER POLLS BEFORE IT SAID AND IT’S WHAT I’M SEEING ON THE GROUND. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE I THINK ARE READY FOR A CHANGE. THE POLL WAS SPONSORED BY THE OSBORNE CAMPAIGN. I ASKED THE FISCHER CAMPAIGN FOR AN INTERVIEW AND IF THEY’D SHARE THEIR INTERNAL POLLING. I RECEIVED THIS STATEMENT FROM THE CAMPAIGN MANAGER. DAN OSBORNE CLAIMS TO BE AN INDEPENDENT, BUT OSBORNE IS FUNDED BY OUT-OF-STATE DEMOCRATS, SUPPORTS GIVING ILLEGAL SOCIAL SECURITY AND LOVES BERNIE SANDERS. THE MORE PEOPLE LEARN ABOUT DAN OSBORNE, THE MORE THEY LEARN HE’S NO INDEPENDENT AT ALL. MILLIONS ARE BEING SPENT BY THE CAMPAIGNS AND OUTSIDE MONEY IS COMING IN TO PAC CALLED HEARTLAND RESURGENCE. SUPPORTING. FISCHER HAS SPENT NEARLY HALF $1 MILLION, ACCORDING TO THE LATEST DATA FROM OPENSECRETS.ORG, AND TWO ADS, INCLUDING THIS ONE, COME FROM RETIRED CAREER POLITICIANS SUPPORTING OSBORNE. THEY’VE SPENT. AROUND 1.5 MILLION. AND IF YOU BELIEVE THE POLL, IT’S IT’S SHAPING UP TO BE THE FIRST CLOSE SENATE ELECTION IN NEBRASKA SINCE 2000. THAT’S WHEN DEMOCRAT BEN NELSON WON BY LESS THAN THREE POINTS. SINCE THEN, THE TIGHTEST RATE FOR SENATE WAS FISCHER’S FIRST, A NEARLY 16 POINT WIN OVER BOB KERREY BAC
