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

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

I don’t know any prostitutes, but I’m gonna go out on a limb and postulate that some prostitutes have more integrity than a good number of career politicians.

He needs to go, too. He’s fine with being the only “Republican” from California as long as he gets to stay and all the others go.

In a year having Big Tech endorse a GOP candidate would be a death sentence in any primary after their censorship deal

Play stupid games......

Yep, mess with the bull, you might get gored.
Here is the thing, however, they are only 21 days into their term, and already she has a primary challenger? That’s great, I just didn’t think it would happen that fast. 😁

Switch Dem. They’ll find you a sinecure not dependent on those pesky voters.

Yeah, and AOC, Tlaib and the rest of the gang were losing by huge margins as well.

They all lose their re-election bids, right?

Keep wet dreaming.....

the most interesting thing about how she stepped in it here, is how she is absolutely disconnected from the party base.

there’s something really weird about that. Doesn’t jibe.

Thanks for posting. Just woke up, poured a cup of coffee and this is the first article posting I read. Based on how it is starting, it looks like it is going to be a great day.

somewhere there’s “leverage” on this gal that is used to “make her perform”

that same leverage, if somehow “found” could be used to induce her to resign way ahead of time

“Now I am starting to think they have awakened the sleeping giant.”

I hope so. For myself, I think I’m 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.

Having Liz’s constituents hound her into resigning is a great start. Now the other GOP traitors’ constituents need to do the same thing.

Concurrently, the constituents of those GOP who voted to certify need to make their lives a living hell until they resign, too. They need to pay. They were set up to think Trump supporters initiated the chaos at the Capitol and within a few hours’ time they went all wobbly. They’re weak and don’t deserve to be in office if they (1) don’t know that Trump supporters don’t do that sort of thing, and (2) helped to put in office a baby-murdering communist through their knee-jerk reaction.

(But that’s just me.)
