Poll: Liz Cheney’s Political Support Collapses in Wyoming as Primary Challenger Takes Double-Digit Lead
Breitbart ^ | 27 Jan 2021 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 01/27/2021 9:55:40 PM PST by Zhang Fei

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

But Kevin McCarthy wants us to “knock it off” because “all this infighting is distracting from our usual kabuki theater of pretending to fight the Democrats”

Get rid of Liz and Mitt and the infighting ends you idiot.

I guess the first order of business is to get rid of McCarthy who seems totally opposed to cleaning out the RINO’s.

Yep, no brainer. We've been saddled with incompetent leadership in the House for ages. Probably going back to Newt.

The Trump Curse strikes again! Ya-Hoooooo! So happy to see this!

Now, let’s follow Wyoming’s LEAD and drum out and replace ALL the Never-Trumpers and Quisling RINOs!

We can build our America First Party from the ashes of the GOPe, and it will be SWEET! :)

“Things are happening. The Capitol walk through. Reddit obliterating the short selling hedge funds. Cheney about to get wiped out. Mitch and McCarthy backtracking. Rubio getting a Trump kid challenge in the primary. Pipeline workers and Ute Indians coming out hard about the drilling and pipeline EO.

A month ago, I thought they were on an unstoppable roll.

Now I am starting to think they have awakened the sleeping giant. There is a vibe out there, one of common people moving in complete hatred against the “elites”.

Oh how I wish Sarah Palin would announce against Lisa Murkykowski now. Sarah needs to do so and force Lisa to start driving while looking in her rear view mirror. Lisa would soon drive into the ditch.

Yep. I supported them (because what...support Gore...or even far worse, Kerry????

They did things I disagreed with, but they have just completely gone over.

Disgusting indeed.

Assuming Bouchard doesn’t step on his weenie and twist, house candidates simply don’t come back from 30 points down to primary challengers very often. She’s toast unless he screws up.

My guess is we’ll see her say shes not going to run again just to try to save face.

Liz was likely trying to save her Dad from what’s coming. It won’t work.

If the FIRST digit isn’t a “9” THAT’S what’s wrong with the GOP.

I used to love it when Private Citizen Liz Cheney would respond to some Leftist by saying “I don’t agree with your Premise” during the Bush 43 Years.

She would then school them on the facts.

Then she finally gets Elected and she gulps down the Swamp Water by the Gallon.

Very sad when Elected Republicans turn to the dark side. Same thing seems to happen when a Republican POTUS gets a new Justice on the SCOTUS with exceptions like Scalia, Alito and Thomas.

Depends on whether you want to win or you want a bunch of wannabe also-rans ensuring that the incumbent gets reelected.

“Future MSNBC correspondent, Liz Cheney.”

Exactly. She’ll get snapped up by the Enemedia and given a weekend gig on one of those channels so they can parade her around and say “Look, we’re so bi-partisan”.

She could easily be the next female Joe Scarborough.

“pack her carpetbag,”
She has nothing to put in that bag except her relation to a former VP. Disgracefully, she has let the pooch screw her and is “toast,” or, better said, a pile of stinking shit to be avoided lest you want to take her home with you!
I want to wish her more bad luck in her future.
Dick’s daughter was a mess, from the start. YUK!
END NEPOTISM, NOW!
