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

MSNBC will drag her out as their ‘conservative voice’.
She really is simply ‘purebred swamp creature’ and her action are predictable in that light.
She will move on from Wyoming if she loses, find greener pastures to continue profiting from Daddies name/feeding at the trough.

Whomever her primary opponent is, they need to be prepared.

For now, it's not about attacking Cheney on the issues, it's about protecting their viability as a candidate.

Cheney has two years to manufacture a scandal that takes her opponent out of the race. Her opponent has no resources to counter this, other than good behavior and public awareness.

Keep the heat on Cheney and point out establishment behaviors, but keep an eye open for dirty tricks, too.

It is disgusting, how Bush and Cheney turned.

Bush and Cheney never turned. They were derp state all along. We just didn't know the depth and breadth and nature of the derp state.

Now we do. Let's not go back to sleep.

Eat that, beotch!

But it’s a long way ‘til 2022, and her challenger’s fortunes are tied to Trump’s continued prominence and his own campaigning abilities, and she could get money from the boardroom bolsheviks and holly-weirdos. And they could stuff the ballot boxes there, too. People got to embed themselves in the system as poll workers and watchers, and in the primary campaign as door-to-door canvassers, and run for state and local offices. This is revolution, and it’s a long hard slog. Polls are no longer so relevant as before.

“It is disgusting, how Bush and Cheney turned.”

They did not “turn”. They were never with us.

Google, Facebook, Twitter, MS, will all come to her rescue. She is in the club, he is not.

I will admit Cheny’s disappointed me..I expected much better from her than what she's performed.....and her comments regarding Pres. Trump certainly blew her right out of the water! I'm hoping they don't keep her as she's showing she's just another career politician.

It’s it that they turned or did we ever truly see behind the veil?

If the swamp wants to keep Cheney, that’s exactly how they will rig the game in their favor.
