Poll Shows Ricketts in the Lead

A 2014 Battleground Tracker poll commissioned by The New York Times, CBS News, and YouGov shows Pete Ricketts with a 50 percent to 32 percent lead over his opponent Chuck Hassebrook in the Nebraska governor’s race.

“Pete’s message of new growth and responsible reform is having an impact,” said Ricketts campaign manager Matt Miltenberger. “We’ll continue working hard across the state to promote Pete’s plans for a brighter future for Nebraska families and communities.”
