It’s official: Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert ® is scared. Recent polling has shown Democratic frontrunner Adam Frisch in the lead in Boebert’s district, and now the anti-LGBTQ+ Congresswoman is pleading with voters for help.

According to the Aspen Daily News, Boebert’s campaign sent three successive emails at the end of August that acknowledged the possibility of Boebert’s defeat.

The emails were reacting to the results of a Keating Research poll that showed Frish beating Boebert in the 2024 election to represent Colorado’s Third Congressional District.

The poll showed that 50% of likely voters in the district say they will vote for Frisch, who almost beat Boebert in 2022 in the purple district, and only 48% say they’re voting for Boebert. Frisch holds a bigger advantage – 17 points – when it comes to unaffiliated voters, the group that the Frisch campaign has said it’s trying to appeal to in this election cycle. He also has a 32-point advantage with Latin voters.

A majority – 53% – of likely voters in the survey had an unfavorable view of Boebert, and only 42% had a favorable view of her. 34% had a favorable view of Frisch, while 26% viewed him unfavorably.

    I hope she does lose. I’d really like her to get wrecked, but unlikely considering how red a large portion of her district is from what I’ve heard/read. the sooner she fucks off to obscurity, the better.

      There are a couple of Republicans running against her in the primary, and they’re far more qualified. Still assholes, but they seem to be able to read, so they’re miles ahead of her. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if she loses to one of them.

      Her local home town population HATES her, even the Republicans. They made sure her restaurant went out of business (now a Mexican restaurant) and they’re running other Republicans against her.

        I haven’t heard that, but since she hasn’t done ANYTHING since being in office, so it makes sense that they’d hate her.

        Other than making sure to embarrass herself on camera a few times, that is.

        Hadn’t done anything a normal Congressperson does, as in passing bills to do anything.

        That’s good to hear. Hopefully she loses big time and whomever replaces her isn’t such a piece of shit.
