  • PPP’S Latest Poll of Wyoming Voters Finds That Liz Cheney’S Senate Hopes in the State May Be Dead on Arrival
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 23, 2013 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Uphill battle for Cheney in Wyoming Raleigh, N.C.- PPP’s latest poll of Wyoming voters finds that Liz Cheney’s Senate hopes in the state may be dead on arrival. She has just a 33% favorability rating across the state, and she trails both Senator Mike Enzi and Congresswoman Cynthia Lummis in head to head primary matchups. She is currently down 41% to 34% against Lummis, trailing with every ideological group besides “very conservative”, which she leads by 5%. Things are even worse against Enzi, who more than doubles Cheney’s total, 54% to 26%. Should Cheney somehow emerge victorious in the primary, she may jeopardize the GOP’s ability to hold the seat. The poll finds that she trails former Democratic Governor Dave Freudenthal 45% to 42%, the only situation in which a Democrat is even remotely close to winning. This is rather impressive for Freudenthal, who has a 55% favorable rating, as only 53% of respondents said they could ever vote for a Democrat for Senator. Cheney’s poor standing may be due to a common sentiment in the Cowboy State that Cheney doesn’t belong. Only 31% of respondents consider Cheney to be a Wyomingite, including 36% of Republican primary voters, and 50% believe that she should be running in Virginia instead. This feeling does not hold for the rest of the family, though, as former VP Dick Cheney has a 50% favorability in the state.

Analysts and pundits have repeatedly argued over the last several election cycles that a significant victory by one party or the other is the first step to an enduring or permanent majority; however, after last night’s results, it is clearer than ever that the pendulum continues to swing, and that the U.S. political waters continue to be roiled. While Republicans and Democrats both may overstate the long-term significance of last night’s Republican victory, there are some broad mes- sages from yesterday’s results. First and foremost, voters across the board are deeply concerned that the economy has not rebounded. Voters force- fully rejected the assertion by economists and the Obama administration that the economy is in recovery. Second, there is great unease about the John Boehner (R – Ohio) policies being pursued to address the economic crisis.
