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

The best “awakening a sleeping giant” story I’ve seen comes from New York City of all places.

A guy who owns a bar/restaurant in Staten Island has been engaged in an ongoing battle for months against the city’s lockdown orders. He would defiantly open the place for indoor dining, and was regularly visited by the police to have the place shut down.

It reached a climax around the holidays when crowds of supporters would gather around the place and try to keep it open.

The owner was arrested at one of the demonstrations for (allegedly) using his car to injure a sheriff’s officer.

The story was back in the news last week because the grand jury presented with the case refused to indict him.

I can see it now. Joe Scarborough ditches Mika (on TV and in real life), and Liz Cheney replaces her on his show. The show will be renamed “Morning Joe and the Lizard.”

Under normal circumstances I do not like House members openly meddling in the political affairs in other districts — especially in states more than a thousand miles away.

But in this one case I would make an exception. It’s awesome to see that clown Matt Gaetz going to such great lengths to play this political charade out for the world to see.

I wouldn’t count Liz Cheney out yet. The GOPe will split the primary vote with several designated loser candidates. It’s an open primary so Trump hating Democrats will vote for her, too. Never underestimate the stupidity of the Stupid Party.

I think the Bush family was the first to disrespect Trump.

IIRC, Trump hosted campaign events for Dubya.

I’m wondering if this event with Gaetz in AZ will be televised anywhere. I don’t see it as upcoming on RSBN. Maybe one of the AZ stations will carry it.

Get rid of all of them. Let us take over the Party from the Old Grand Party and make it the New Grand Old Party.

Forget opposing her in a primary. She needs to be tapped on the shoulder and told to resign or else it's all Uniparty Kabuki Theater.

Her puppet masters need to be identified and sent packing as well because otherwise they'll select and infect her replacement.
