If this poll is accurate, the dam is about to burst in Nebraska. Per the bios on their Website, this polling firm has a MAGA hat glued to its head. Meaning alarm bells should be going off for the Nebraska GOP. Crosstabs: backend.natpublicaffairs.com/media/Nebras...

After Ken Paxton helped amplify the heinous lies about James Talarico, Paxton gets a dose of karma. Trafalgar is a notoriously pro-Republican pollster, and if they have Paxton down three at this point, it’s the equivalent of a Code Blue for Paxton. I repeat—karma.
