Trump Appears To Troll Lauren Boebert By Posting A Poll That Shows Her Losing In November

A new poll released yesterday in Colorado shows that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R) is losing ground in her bid to win another term in office come the 2024 election.

Boebert, who is being challenged by Democrat Adam Frisch, is now losing by 2 percentage points to, Axios reports.

Frisch took 50% support of likely voters compared to 48% for Boebert — a statistical tie that is sure to elevate the stakes in Colorado’s much-watched 3rd Congressional District in the 2024 election.

It’s the first substantive poll to show Frisch with a possible advantage in the conservative district, pollster Chris Keating tells Axios.

Boebert won re-election in 2022 by a mere 546 votes, and Democrats are salivating at the chance to defeat the incumbent, who has established herself as a national GOP firebrand and ally of former President Trump.

Even more troubling for Boebert’s reelection campaign is her unfavorable rating, which has risen to 58%. That along suggests the congresswoman is facing an uphill battle next year.

Oddly, failed former president Donald Trump posted the poll results on his Truth Social site, raising questions about whether or not he was trying to troll Boebert or show that Republicans are vulnerable.

Here’s what Trump posted, without any commentary:

What’s that all about? Is the eternally disloyal Trump trying to show he’s winning in a district that could conceivably be lost by a GOP incumbent? Or is he hoping to gin up support for Boebert? If it’s the latter, that’s an odd way to boost a candidate.

Neither Boebert or her campaign have commented on Trump’s post. What would they say if they did?

2024 is likely to be an electoral bloodbath for Republicans. And if indeed Boebert does lose, the House of Representatives will automatically be a smarter place the day she vacates her office.

Melania Trump Is One Of The Most Disliked First Ladies In History: Poll

Much like her husband, former first lady Melania Trump is a divisive figure, claiming to care about the issue of online bullying yet never calling out the failed former president for his countless attacks on others via social media.

Just how unpopular is Melania? According to a poll from Zogby Analytics, she’s near the bottom when it comes to favorite first ladies in modern history, The Daily Mail reports:

Jacqueline Kennedy tops a new poll of America’s favorite first ladies while current occupant Jill Biden comes in near the middle and Melania Trump was second from the bottom. 

Zogby Analytics polled a sampling of Americans for their thoughts on the past 12 women who have served as first lady. 

The results were based on how many of the 5,437 likely voters said each of the First Ladies was great. 

Be sure and note that Michelle Obama is second only to the late Jackie Kennedy in the poll, which is certain to enrage Donald Trump and his supporters, who have long tried to denigrate Mrs. Obama and her husband.

The fact that current First Lady Jill Biden is ranked so high though her husband has been in the White House for less than a year is also notable.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Melania is near the bottom of the poll. Keep in mind a few of the more controversial things she did and said while her husband was in office:

  • During a visit to see detained children at the US border, she wore a Zara jacket with “I don’t really care, do u?” emblazoned across the back. It left a bad taste in the mouths of many after her husband appeared seemingly apathetic to having separated children from their parents.
  • Melania hasn’t given many speeches, but when she did, they never went without controversy – whether she was accused of plagiarising Michelle Obama’s 2008 Democratic National Convention speech or labelled a hypocrite for celebrating diversity at the 2020 Republican National Convention (RNC) years after questioning Barack Obama’s nationality.

Though we can’t yet know if Melania’s ranking among former first ladies will improve, when you consider that her husband continues to say and do incredibly disgusting things, it seems unlikely that Mrs. #BeBest will ever be anything more than a footnote in American history that most of us would rather forget.

Poll: 64% Of Americans Say They Won’t Vote For Trump In 2024

While his poll numbers among many in the GOP continue to rise with each indictment, failed and disgraced former president Donald Trump got some very bad news from an Associated Press poll.

While 63% of Republicans surveyed said they want the former president to run again, an increase of eight percentage points over the 55% who said so in the same poll taken in April, other voters were significantly less enthusiastic.

But in a crucial warning sign for the former president and his supporters, Trump faces glaring vulnerabilities heading into a general election, with many Americans strongly dug in against him. While most Republicans — 74% — say they would support him in November 2024, 53% of Americans say they would definitely not support him if he is the nominee. Another 11% say they would probably not support him in November 2024.

The comparison between Trump and President Joe Biden shows that Biden has greater party loyalty among Democrats, and the total number of those polled who said they definitely or probably not support the incumbent is currently at 54%, a 10-point differential for Biden, which could wind up being significant come Election Day 2024.

What do voters think about the recent indictment of Trump by the Department of Justice for his role in January 6, 2021 and efforts to overturn the 2020 election? 53% said they “approve of the Justice Department indicting Trump in the federal case that he worked to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.” 

It remains to be seen if Trump’s negative poll numbers will go lower once trials begin next year, but the current figures certainly suggest that at least six in ten of Americans have had enough of him.

CPAC Straw Poll Contains A ‘Horrible Result’ For Donald Trump: GOP Strategist

A straw poll taken at the end of the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) conference may have appeared to be good news for disgraced one-term former president Donald Trump, but a GOP strategist said Sunday the poll actually contains a “horrible result” for the failed ex-president.

Trump gave the keynote address at CPAC on Sunday and garnered 62% worth of support in the straw poll, but that should concern him, according to Republican strategist Susan Del Percio.

During an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Alex Witt Show,” Del Percio was asked by the host:

“Do you sense this is a party that is ready to move on? What lies ahead for Republicans who want to challenge Trump?”

Del Percio replied:

“Sixty-two percent of CPAC in a straw poll it is a horrible result for Donald Trump. I mean this has been dubbed TPAC; this is Donald Trump’s show, and you can only get 62% of his own people.”

“That is not to say his power over the party is there,” she added. “I read something very interesting in I believe it was Politico or Axios over the weekend. Donald Trump met with the state Republican leadership of Nevada recently at Mar-a-Lago. Donald Trump is playing the campaign strategy that all he needs to do is get 35 percent and beat everyone else and it is winner take all.”

Del Percio concluded her comments by noting, “He still does have that grip and if the other thing that stuck out to me is listening to Governor [Chris] Sununu and Nikki Haley, they come from two different ideas of what the new generation is and I am afraid that Nikki Haley’s new generation of leadership, which is a new generation of hate, as you just showed, is where the party currently is.”

Trump is also facing the prospect of being indicted in multiple jurisdictions, and while he vows not to drop out of the 2024 race if he’s charged with crimes, his poll numbers will likely take a major hit if he is.

2024 Election Poll Shows Trump Trailing Both Ron DeSantis AND Liz Cheney

A new poll is certain to enrage disgraced, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump because it shows him trailing both Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former Rep. Liz Cheney in the 2024 race for the Republican presidential nomination.

The Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll only reflects sentiment in the state of Utah, but Trump’s third place showing suggests that even in a deep red state voters are sick and tired of him.

Mediaite reports:

Yes, the new survey has Trump in third place — pulling in just 14.6 percent of the vote. DeSantis came out on top in the Deseret News/Hinckley survey — as he has in many recent state polls — with 24.2 percent.

But the real surprise is Cheney. The defeated Wyoming congresswoman ranks second in the Deseret News/Hinckley survey with 16.4 percent support from Utah GOP primary voters.

Cheney lost her bid for another term in the House of Representatives to Rep.-elect Harriet Hageman, but her name is often mentioned as a possible candidate for the 2024 Republican nomination. Her high-profile role as vice chair of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol has angered Trump and many of his GOP allies.

The Wyoming Republican has been extremely critical of the role Trump played in the Capitol insurrection, remarking in July that “Trump engaged in the ‘most serious misconduct’ of any U.S. president in history by inciting the mayhem and then refusing for more than three hours to call off the rioters.”

It will be interesting to see how Trump responds to the new poll showing him a distant third in Utah. Rest assured that someone else will be to blame because nothing is ever Donald’s fault.
