  • 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.
