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.

    They. don’t. care. There’s a (R) next to her name, she hates “woke” people (wink wink) and abortion, she loves Trump and gun proliferation. That’s literally all that matters.

      What I really love is how the percentage of people who are going to vote for her is higher than the percentage who even view her “favorably”.

      Considering there are probably a few weirdos mixed in there who view them both favorably but are gonna vote D, you have some percentage >= 6 that have nothing good to say about her but are going to vote for her anyway

        That’s pretty normal with how our electoral system is set up. I know a lot of people who have an unfavorable view of Biden, but they’ll certainly vote for him in the general.
