House Republican Lauren Boebert is polling 14 points behind potential Democratic rival Ike McCorkle in a hypothetic matchup for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District according to a survey conducted on behalf of his campaign.

The poll found McCorkle, a former Marine, would get 43 percent of the vote against 27 percent for Boebert—with another 33 percent of voters undecided.

In December 2023, Boebert, a Donald Trump-supporting GOP hardliner who represents Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District in the House, announced she wanted to run for the state’s traditionally more conservative 4th District in a surprise move. Boebert said she made the move seeking a “fresh start” after a “pretty difficult year for me and my family,” but critics argued she was worried about losing to Democrat Adam Frisch—who she narrowly beat by around 500 votes in November 2022.

    Yeah, I was about to say didn’t she already move to a “safe” district?

    She can be like a Dem Johnny Appleseed, just keep running in the most conservative CO districts till they all flip blue.

      What if she’s a double agent for the democratic party? An antifa plant meant to flip republican seats for the coming of the second anti-christ after Donald Trump defeated Hillary.
