Now how many of y’all think BoBo gonna try to convince us that polls don’t matter… of course unless they are trash for Biden & great for Trump!”. In a GOP primary debate on Thursday, Boebert fended off opponents’ claims that she’s a “carpetbagger” after she entered the race in another district for a better chance at winning. Boebert narrowly won the third district in the 2022 election, prompting her reelection shift to the fourth district.. A straw poll conducted afterward indicated she’s potentially in for some rough sledding, however.. Boebert got just 10% of the vote in a fifth-place finish, drawing gasps in the room, Colorado Politics reported.. A casual poll conducted among a reported 117 participants at the hall where the debate took place isn’t exactly political science, but it got the internet buzzing.. Advertisement.
