Lauren Boebert's re-election in jeopardy, new poll shows

3 Hour Ago- Politics & Policy
John Frank, author of Axios Denver

Republican firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert is dangerously close to being upset by a little-known Democratic rival, a new poll in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District shows.

By the numbers: Boebert received support from 47% of likely voters, while Democrat Adam Frisch landed at 45% — making the race a statistical tie within the ±4.4 percentage point margin of error.

7% of voters are undecided, per the poll.

The survey, taken Sept. 29–Oct. 2 by Keating Research, a Democratic firm and one of the most accurate pollsters in Colorado, represents a 5-point swing toward Frisch. In July, Boebert held a 49%-42% advantage.

Unaffiliated voters — those not aligned with a major political party — strongly dislike Boebert, who's known for her Christian nationalist rhetoric, opposition to bipartisan legislation, and lighting rod remarks about guns and immigration. Those voters are shifting toward Frisch as the election progresses, pollsters said.

Almost to a person my conservative friends have been embarrassed and at this point loath her. She has brought shame to Western Colorado. This district extends over to the eastern slope where she may, just may, have her original support.

But it's overwhelmingly conservative. Also, Durango has fewer than 20,000 full-time residents, while Grand Junction metro has more than 155,000.

Wouldn't it be wonderful not to see that hateful little face again? I don't know how anyone can think she's attractive. And that voice! She's an arrogant little shit, inside and out.



But I'm sure Faux is waiting in the wings for her. She'll be a perfect fit.

even if she does lose.

Taking a page from the Trump playbook, she'll declare victory and screech (literally) about voter fraud, and how she's being persecuted by vile, demonic Democrats.

That said, I hope that Frisch, the Democrat, kicks her skanky butt.

He is going to beat the bitch. He is a wonderful man, candidate, and Democrat. He will serve our district, a district larger than Pennsylvania, with knowledge and honor
