The good news for Senator Ben Nelson is that he doesn’t have to face Nebraska voters until 2012.Rasmussen also reported that if Nelson votes to stop final passage of the bill he gains back 21 points in his race for re-election.
If Governor Dave Heineman challenges Nelson for the Senate job, a new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows the Republican would get 61% of the vote while Nelson would get just 30%. Nelson was reelected to a second Senate term in 2006 with 64% of the vote.
Nelson's health care vote is clearly dragging his numbers down. Just 17% of Nebraska voters approve of the deal their senator made on Medicaid in exchange for his vote in support of the plan. Overall, 64% oppose the health care legislation, including 53% who are Strongly Opposed. In Nebraska, opposition is even stronger than it is nationally.
Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters in the state believe that passage of the legislation will hurt the quality of care, and 62% say it will raise costs.
He really ought to give that some serious thought.

Ben Nelson will vote No in the final vote because they will only need 50 votes not the 60. Neb. should know that. He is a Democrat and he will always be a democrat and we know now for sure they are socialists. Jo
