The Wyoming Primary Election Survey by the University of Wyoming reveals a whopping 98 percent of Democrats backing Cheney and only 2 percent backing her Trump-endorsed opponent, attorney Harriet Hageman. A measly 15 percent of overall Republicans reported support for incumbent lawmaker Cheney.
Meanwhile, Hageman leads among potential GOP primary voters 57 to 28 percent. No other candidate landed with more than 2 percent support while almost 10 percent of probable Republican primary voters remained unsure.
On the day Hageman launched her attempt to unseat the three-term incumbent with an endorsement from former President Donald Trump, Cheney embraced the challenge.

Cheney is poised to become the latest House lawmaker who voted to impeach Trump to lose a primary. The University of Wyoming survey results shows an even wider gap between the two contenders than a poll sponsored by the Casper-Star Tribune last month, showing Cheney down by 22 points. Of the nine other House Republicans to join Cheney in endorsing the Democrats’ snap impeachment effort, four retired, three lost their primaries, and only two prevailed. Cheney’s race is the last one to be decided.

After overwhelmingly being booted out of House leadership last spring, Cheney escalated her feud with former President Trump, which became a hallmark of her time in the lower chamber. Last summer, Cheney joined House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Select Committee on Jan. 6 as vice chair, antagonizing voters in her home state who voted for Trump by a wider margin than anywhere else in the country two years ago. Wednesday’s poll shows that almost 60 percent of probable GOP primary voters see the investigation as unfair, and devoid of opposition. Just roughly 27 percent reported viewing the probe as fair and impartial.
