House GOP Conference Chairwoman Rep. Liz Cheney has seen her political support completely collapse in Wyoming as solid majorities of both Republicans and all voters in the state want her out of office, a new poll shows.
What's more, Cheney has fallen behind her primary challenger by more than double digits, a sharp turn in just weeks against the one-time rising star since she voted to impeach former President Donald Trump.
The poll, conducted by Trump's team and first reported by Politico, shows 73 percent of Republicans in ruby red Wyoming view her unfavorably-while 62 percent of all voters in the state similarly view her unfavorably.
Only 10 percent of GOP voters, and 13 percent of all voters, say they would vote to reelect her, and she trails by more than 30 points-54 percent to 21 percent-against state Sen. Anthony Bouchard, who has announced a campaign against her since her impeachment vote.
The survey of 500 likely voters was conducted by Trump's pollster John McLaughlin from Jan. 25 to Jan. 26, as revealed in a memo that McLaughlin wrote to Trump adviser Jason Miller.
Nine other House Republicans also voted to impeach Trump in his final week in office, and McLaughlin wrote in his survey memo to Miller that he believes while Cheney has the highest profile and appears to be paying the biggest political price for it, a similar trend could hold across the board.
"The strong voter sentiment in this survey suggests there could be similar results for other Republicans who voted for impeachment," McLaughlin wrote.
