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

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

"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. 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.

Similar situation in the Senate. If we flip PA or possibly OH, chances of us losing the Senate goes way down.

for that to happen. They can, however, refuse to seat her on any committees, making her largely irrelevant.

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.

as much as I'd like to see her gone. I don't know much about her district, but she's such an idiot and such a bad reflection on them that I pray she goes down in figurative flames.

You know, if election day were a national holiday and voting a requirement for citizenship there would be fewer Republicans holding elected offices.

The sooner she is defeated and a sane candidate who actually wants to do the job is elected, the better for us all.

And, she always comes across as very angry and yelling at someone, no matter how serious the message is supposed to be? She is totally incompetent.
