LINCOLN- New polling indicates that negative political advertising and negative publicity may be having an impact on the red-hot, three-way race for the Republican nomination for governor.

It also indicated that 24% of respondents were still undecided on how they might vote in the May 10 primary.

A telephone poll of 505 Republican voters was done from April 26th-28th on behalf of the Jim Pillen campaign.

The results indicated a race still too close to tell who’s leading, with 24% of respondents saying they’d vote for Pillen, a former Nebraska football player and University of Nebraska regent. Conklin Co. CEO Charles Herbster got 23% support. And State Sen. Brett Lindstrom, a financial advisor, polled at 20%.

The results fall within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4.4%. The poll was conducted Tuesday through Thursday by WPA Intelligence.

Seven percent of respondents supported former State Sen. Theresa Thibodeau.
