House GOP Conference Chairwoman Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) has seen her political support completely collapse in Wyoming as solid majorities of both Republicans and all voters in the state want her out of office, a new poll shows.
What’s more, Cheney has fallen behind her primary challenger by more than double digits, a sharp turn in just weeks against the one-time rising star since she voted to impeach former President Donald Trump.
The poll, conducted by Trump’s team and first reported by Politico, shows 73 percent of Republicans in ruby red Wyoming view her unfavorably—while 62 percent of all voters in the state similarly view her unfavorably.
Only 10 percent of GOP voters, and 13 percent of all voters, say they would vote to reelect her, and she trails by more than 30 points—54 percent to 21 percent—against state Sen. Anthony Bouchard, who has announced a campaign against her since her impeachment vote.
The survey of 500 likely voters was conducted by Trump’s pollster John McLaughlin from Jan. 25 to Jan. 26, as revealed in a memo that McLaughlin wrote to Trump adviser Jason Miller.
“Liz Cheney’s decision to vote to impeach President Trump makes her extremely vulnerable,” McLaughlin wrote. “It is evident her ratings are in bad shape among general election voters and have collapsed among Republicans and Trump voters.”
Cheney has seen her fortunes crash not just in Wyoming—where at least one fellow U.S. House Republican, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), traveled to campaign against her—but in the U.S. House GOP conference as well.
As Breitbart News previously reported, more than half of the GOP conference have signed a petition saying they would vote on a secret ballot to oust her as chair. House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy, meanwhile, has said he supports her staying in the position but

They’ll find a 3rd or 4th candidate to split the primary vote; candidates who will be well funded by the GOP. If Wyoming doesn’t fall for this old trick, she’s out.
Liz Chose to run against outrageous Tweets. She and her NOTRUMPers did not run for anything. Just anything NOTTRUMP. If one side is right most of the time, then the opposite is wrong most of the time.
“... still in shock after the angst from November through mid-January; paralyzed, really. I keep wondering how this can be fixed, IF it can be fixed.”
Same here.
Kevin you and your RINO traitors are in our foxholes so we have to deal with your lot first.
I've not read about this - details of which Trump?
The propagandists at ABCCBSCNNFOXNBCNPR are trying to gloss over the truth that these raids on lockdown defiers are being done by sheriffs because the local police (and likely local politicians) won't enforce illegal diktats that the governors themselves violated.
Bye bye...lol
McCarthy is next to go. He's unprincipled and two-faced. He lacks a spine to standup and fight. McCarthy is yet another reason I will never vote for a Republican. You figure it out. He's still the leader. That means all those other Republicans are spineless wimps too.
Good! Pity other states can’t have a similar epiphany. (Kentucky getting rid of the Turtle once and for all, for example.)
when is Wyoming holding primaries? Rinos always pull their dirty tricks years before the next election cycle; so their supporters have time to forget that knife in their backs.
McCarthy is the problem.
Politically, he needs to lose his position.
I have other nouns I coild’ve thrown in there, but that’ll do.
Eyebrows gets it, but his definition of productive is damn near my definition of destructive.
So bring on the show circus and drag it out as long as possible.
that’s kinda the purpose of primaries, eh? Or-—— do you have some better method to pick that “good” candidate?
“House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy, meanwhile, has said he supports her staying in the position ...”
There it is. Even if he is playing 5D chess or something, why? Is he afraid that CNN will say bad things about him? They will. Is he afraid that Megan McCain might unfriend him on Facebook? No, he’s playing his role as gatekeeper. Kevin Mccarthy is part of the apparatus that defines the acceptable boundaries of “conservatism.” Trump broke out of that paradigm and revealed that 10’s of millions of Americans wanted what he was talking about.
Many RINOs survive in office by citing that principle. "You can't oppose me! You wouldn't want a Democrat to win, would you?"
Our answer must always be: "How could we tell the difference?" :)
Another cheat over the finish line is in the tea leaves
That will be an eye opener to the nevertrump GOPe.
She already has voted to impeachment faux hearing
BINGO!
But nothing Kevin, we need a unified party to fight the Dems, get rid of the Cheney's and Romney's, no choice, do it.
