Congresswoman Liz Cheney is losing the Republican Party popularity contest to former President Donald Trump by a double-digit margin, according to the new polling data.
The latest Economist/YouGov survey found that 58 percent of GOP voters viewed the Wyoming Republican either very or somewhat unfavorably, while only 20 percent of the party base took a positive view of her.
By comparison, former President Trump was backed by the bulk of the Republican caucus. Fifty-five percent of GOP voters told YouGov pollsters that they had a very favorable view of him, and a further 22 percent had a somewhat favorable opinion.
