Independent voters in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District are leaning toward a Republican challenger to incumbent Rep. Yadira Caraveo (D-CO), according to a GOP polling memo showing the freshman lawmaker in a vulnerable position in one of the most competitive races of the 2024 cycle.
Despite making history as the first Latina member to represent Colorado in Congress, a majority of voters in the district are either unfamiliar with Caraveo or have no opinion of her, according to the internal survey commissioned by the National Republican Congressional Committee.
Roughly 23% of voters report having a favorable view of Caraveo compared to 16% who responded negatively, according to the poll, first shared with the Washington Examiner. However, an overwhelming 61% say they have no opinion — putting Caraveo in a “dire position,” according to the internal memo.
