Incumbent Sen. Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) is leading Liz Cheney by more than 30 points in the GOP primary to keep his Senate seat, according to a new poll.
Enzi takes 55 percent in the poll, conducted by the GOP firm Harper Polling, compared with 21 percent for Cheney.
Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, announced Tuesday that she would challenge Enzi — setting off what could become a highly competitive contest in a race that was previously expected to be a lock for Enzi.
Just over three-quarters of the state’s voters view Enzi favorably, compared with just 6 percent who have an unfavorable view. His job approval rating stands at 73 percent. Enzi, who’s represented Wyoming in the Senate since 1997, has virtually universal name ID in the state: zero percent of those surveyed said they hadn’t heard of him.
Cheney is also well known in the state — just 2 percent of voters haven’t heard of her — but more than a third of voters, 38 percent, said they have no opinion on her. Of those who do have an opinion, 45 percent view Cheney favorably and 15 percent view her unfavorably.
