One campaign email acknowledged Boebert is being "pummeled" by her Democratic challenger...

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.

      I drive through her district once a year to get the best peaches in the world and it’s always so confounding to see all the “Boebert Country” signs and stickers. It really is weird. Far from being embarrassed, these people actually like her. If it weren’t for Pitkin County, she’d win in a walk.

      Well she does have that fancy schmancy R next to her name. I’m a simple man, some may confuse my level of brain activity with that of a dead man, but when I vote that’s usually all I pay attention to

        If you truly do only vote via party line, you really do have the same brain activity as a dead man. That’s dumb as fuck.

        I mean, that’s the same reasoning I use to vote Democrat, but my definition of “evil” is based on demonstrable facts, instead of the facial expressions made in a “Tucker Reacts To Hypothetical Scenario” video.
