New Polls Show Fischer Holding Lead Over Osborn

Loading

According to three recent polls, incumbent Republican Senator Deb Fischer appears to be slightly overtaking independent Dan Osborn in their 2024 race.

A poll conducted by Torchlight Strategies- which is sponsored by Fischer- shows that from October 25th-28th, out of 605 likely voters 51% were in favor of Fischer while only 44% were in favor of Osborn. The remaining 7% were left undecided

A second poll (and most recently conducted) from Change Research shows a tie between Fischer and Osborn at 47% out of 600 likely voters. The remaining 6% were also left undecided. This would imply a much closer race than the Fischer-backed Torchlight poll. However, Change Research also has a partisan sponsor: Dan Osborn.

The third poll was conducted by a Public Limited Company based out of the UK known as YouGov. This reportedly neutral firm held a poll composed of 1200 likely voters from October 21st-28th and also showed a significant lead for Fischer; 50% Fischer, 43% Osborn, with the remaining 7% left undecided.

The NY Times averaged these polls and included their own to show Fischer leading 47% to 44%- with a 3% uptick for Fischer since October 15th.

Ultimately, the pre-election polls are not entirely indicative of the final results. All of the aforementioned polls have a 3-4% margin of error, or carry some form of bias.
