The battle over health care legislation has taken its toll on U.S. Sen. Ben
Nelson's political well-being, despite the Democrat's efforts to sell Nebraskans
on his vote.
Nelson, who once enjoyed some of the highest job performance marks in the
U.S. Senate, has now seen his approval rating dip below 50 percent in Nebraska,
according to The World-Herald Poll.
Nelson said the poll results come as no surprise, especially since Nebraskans
have been “bombarded” with millions of dollars in “misleading
advertisements.”
He said he expects that people will come to appreciate the health care
bill.
“I believe that, over time, as the special interest ads subside, Nebraskans will
understand the bill I support will improve their health care, because it ends
the denial of coverage due to pre-existing conditions, it reduces spiraling
costs and it provides new access to coverage for 220,000 Nebraskans without
health care today,” Nelson said in a written statement.
(Nelson needs to wake up and stop blaming “misleading advertisements.” Just by saying that Nelson is putting down the Nebraska voters and saying we can be fooled. Nelson is trying to outsmart the Nebraska voters but we aren't falling for it. Read more on this issue Rating drops below 50%
for Nelson.)
