Rep. Lauren Boebert’s “carpetbagging” campaign in her new Colorado district is already showing signs of flagging, according to a newly reported poll.
The MAGA Republican’s high-profile politics didn’t translate into high numbers in a new straw poll taken at a GOP debate Sunday in the heavily populated District 4 race, the New York Sun reports.
“She might have trouble even winning the Republican nomination," writes Russell Payne, "much less the general election."
The poll ranked Boebert fifth out of nine candidates, the report shows. Out of 117 votes cast, Boebert reportedly received 12.
Candidates who ranked higher include Logan County commissioner Jerry Sonnenberg, state house minority leader Mike Lynch and a Douglas County filmmaker named Deborah Flora, according to the report.
Boebert — who will flee District 3 after her “explicit groping” scandal at Beetlejuice the Musical made national headlines — was slammed Sunday by opponents who accused her of playing politics.
“Could you give the definition of ‘carpetbagger’?” Lynch demanded.
“The crops may be different in Colorado’s Fourth District, but the values are not,” Boebert told the room. “I’m a proven fighter for the values that you all believe in.”
