New Poll: 84% of Nebraska Voters Support Term Limits on Congress
Lincoln, NE – A new poll of registered voters in Nebraska reveals a massive groundswell of support for term limits on members of Congress. The poll, conducted by RMG Research between January 15-19, 2026, comes as the Nebraska State Legislature begins its 2026 regular session.
The data shows that 84% of Nebraska voters approve of placing term limits on Congress. This sentiment transcends party lines, including 89% of Republicans, 77% of Democrats and 71% Independents.
“These results send a clear and unmistakable message to Nebraska,” says USTL President, Philip Blumel. “Nebraska voters are tired of career politicians in Washington and are looking to their state legislators to take the lead on this critical reform.”
Key findings from the executive summary include:
Broad Consensus: 83% of voters favor Nebraska calling for an amendment proposing convention specifically to enact congressional term limits.
Legislative Accountability: 81% of voters state they would be more likely to vote for a candidate for the state legislature who supports implementing these limits.
Demographic Strength: Support is particularly robust among older voters, with 91% of those aged 55-64 and 85% of those 65 and older in favor.
