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.
