House Republican Lauren Boebert is polling 14 points behind potential Democratic rival Ike McCorkle in a hypothetic matchup for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District according to a survey conducted on behalf of his campaign.
The poll found McCorkle, a former Marine, would get 43 percent of the vote against 27 percent for Boebert—with another 33 percent of voters undecided.
In December 2023, Boebert, a Donald Trump-supporting GOP hardliner who represents Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District in the House, announced she wanted to run for the state’s traditionally more conservative 4th District in a surprise move. Boebert said she made the move seeking a “fresh start” after a “pretty difficult year for me and my family,” but critics argued she was worried about losing to Democrat Adam Frisch—who she narrowly beat by around 500 votes in November 2022.
The Republican bench is getting weirder with every cycle, as normal people no longer consider the job particular prestigious or even that lucrative. Its very possible for Dems to lose the Presidency, hold the Senate, and retake the House as the dark red gerrymandered seats attract people too weird even for the GOP base vote.
