Poll Release: Nebraskans Overwhelmingly Support Fixing Property Tax Crisis

From the Governor's Office
New polling shows the vast majority of Nebraskans support efforts by Governor Jim Pillen and a bipartisan coalition in the Nebraska Legislature to deliver transformative property tax relief to Nebraska homeowners. 

As detailed further in the attached polling memorandum and presentation slides, 67% of Nebraskans support a plan to cut property taxes, cap government spending, and fund K-12 education. An incredible 82% of Nebraska voters say property taxes are too high, and 56% of those voters say they are way too high.

In contrast to biased, unscientific surveys released and parroted by special interest organizations and politicians opposed to cutting property taxes, this public opinion data is based on actual polling statistical science. The poll was conducted by Public Opinion Strategies July 27-31, 2024, with 500 observations of likely voters in Nebraska, with a margin of error of 4.38%. The survey was conducted by live interviewers, with N=434 voters reached via cell phone and N=66 voters reached via landline.

The bottom-line conclusion of this data: Nebraska lawmakers have no choice but to take action and reduce property taxes for all Nebraskans.
