Liz Cheney Is Getting Destroyed In The First Poll Of Wyoming's Senate Race
The poll, which was conducted by Harper Polling for the website Conservative Intel, gives Enzi a monster 55-21 lead over Cheney, who announced her candidacy for the seat on Tuesday.
Moreover, it's clear that Cheney is going up against a very popular incumbent in Enzi. He is viewed favorably by 76% of Wyoming Republicans, compared with just 6% who view him unfavorably. A high 73% of Wyoming Republicans approve of the job he's doing as their senator, compared with just 9% who disapprove. And 48% believe he deserves to be re-elected, compared to 28% who think someone new should take the seat.
Other Republican senators that have been challenged have been far more unpopular. Only 45% view Cheney favorably, but 38% have no opinion of her. The only small opening for her comes in the fact that 48% of Wyoming Republicans believe Enzi deserves re-election — a number that is much smaller than his approval rating and personal popularity.
The poll surveyed 422 Republicans in Wyoming. You can check out the full results here.
