HouseĀ Republican Lauren Boebert isĀ polling 14 points behindĀ potential Democratic rival Ike McCorkle in a hypothetic matchup for Coloradoā€™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 Boebertā€”with another 33 percent of voters undecided.

In December 2023, Boebert, aĀ Donald Trump-supporting GOP hardliner who represents Coloradoā€™s 3rd Congressional District in the House, announced she wanted to run for the stateā€™sĀ traditionally more conservative 4th DistrictĀ in a surprise move. Boebert said she made the move seeking a ā€œfresh startā€ after a ā€œpretty difficult year for me and my family,ā€ but critics argued she was worried aboutĀ losing to Democrat Adam Frischā€”who she narrowly beat by around 500 votes in November 2022.

    Iā€™d vote for the guy just for his name. Ike McCorkle sounds like a character from Ren & Stimpy Pete and Pete and I love it.
