It’s official: Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert ® is scared. Recent polling has shown Democratic frontrunner Adam Frisch in the lead in Boebert’s district, and now the anti-LGBTQ+ Congresswoman is pleading with voters for help.
According to the Aspen Daily News, Boebert’s campaign sent three successive emails at the end of August that acknowledged the possibility of Boebert’s defeat.
…
The emails were reacting to the results of a Keating Research poll that showed Frish beating Boebert in the 2024 election to represent Colorado’s Third Congressional District.
The poll showed that 50% of likely voters in the district say they will vote for Frisch, who almost beat Boebert in 2022 in the purple district, and only 48% say they’re voting for Boebert. Frisch holds a bigger advantage – 17 points – when it comes to unaffiliated voters, the group that the Frisch campaign has said it’s trying to appeal to in this election cycle. He also has a 32-point advantage with Latin voters.
A majority – 53% – of likely voters in the survey had an unfavorable view of Boebert, and only 42% had a favorable view of her. 34% had a favorable view of Frisch, while 26% viewed him unfavorably.
She does some performative acts to spout propaganda and lies to stir outrage. So while more than nothing not by much and not exactly what reps are supposed to be doing in a well functioning democracy. Hopefully the voters will be swayed enough to get her out.
Wasn’t she also the one who submitted mileage expenses that didn’t seem plausible? I sort of forget exactly what she vs the other troll (by actions) in the house did, neither seem to want to help the country.
