"SNIP......
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. 29Oct. 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.

If she's defeated, which doesn't seem likely, IMO, you can bet she'll never go back to Rifle. She's seen the bright lights and big city, closed her restaurant, and burned most of her bridges. I just wonder if those poor ignorant slobs who think they like her know that.
