Madison Cawthorn Losing GOP Support Despite Keeping Large Primary Lead
Newsweek ^ | 4/29/22 | JASON LEMON

Posted on 05/05/2022 2:44:09 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Representative Madison Cawthorn, a North Carolina Republican, appears to be losing substantial support from GOP voters while still maintaining a lead over his chief primary challenger, new polling shows.

Cawthorn, who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, faces opposition from Republican leaders in his state, including North Carolina's GOP Senator Thom Tillis. The Republican lawmaker has endured numerous scandals in recent weeks, with the number ramping up rapidly as opponents could be spreading dirt on the Trump-backed freshman incumbent in an effort to oust him from office.

While the scandals appear to have had an impact, according to new polling released Thursday by Differentiators Data, Cawthorn still maintains a double-digit lead in his Republican primary for North Carolina's 11th District. The incumbent congressman is still supported by 38 percent of GOP voters, compared to 21 percent who back his top rival, state Senator Chuck Edwards. Tillis endorsed Edwards at the end of March.

The guy said the Jan 6 protests were a horrid attack on our nation’s Capitol and that Biden was elected legitimately with no fraud.

Cawthorn is a fraud.

This kid is a mess. For his sake he should fade into the sunset and look for a different career.

Nice to see "FReepers" throwing another conservative overboard.

You clowns wouldn't have lasted a nanosecond at Valley Forge and would be the first people to eagerly snitch on other patriots.

But you're ok with him throwing Trump overboard?

Nearly all Republicans have said this publicly. That doesn't mean throwing a good man out of office because RINO tards like Tillis doesn't want him upsetting their apple cart.

Yet these same people have nothing to say about Hunter Biden.

Hard to call them fake when Carwthorn has been identified in all of them and has basically admitted they're true, just no big deal.

That video, he’s naked, bouncing on top of a man. He says it’s a joke, but my sense of humor is probably different.
He should go, and name names on his way out.

You're more pissed at that, then House and Senate Republicans in Trump's 2 terms refusing to shut down the Mueller probe or certifying the election?

Stop playing by the Left's rules.

YOU'RE A HOMOPHOBE!!!

Solid red district. Re-elect him and have Trump put him on notice for ‘24.

I clicked on the video....if it was a joke it wasn’t that funny because no one was laughing.

How on earth is there a video of this?

This poll was taken prior to the latest shoe to drop...and probably the most damaging.
