NEW POLL: 66% of Nebraskans Say State Is on ‘Wrong Track’

NEW POLL: 66% of Nebraskans Say State Is on ‘Wrong Track’

Apr 2, 2026

A new statewide poll shows growing dissatisfaction among Nebraskans, with two-thirds saying the state is on the wrong track. Dr. Rebecca Firestone of OpenSky Policy Institute and Hadley Richters of the Holland Children’s Institute join the show to break down what’s driving those concerns and how it could shape policy debates ahead of the 2026 elections. The conversation explores affordability pressures, tax policy, and healthcare challenges, including Medicaid changes and their impact on rural hospitals.
