Prediction

s1587677 — 2020-11-02 03:13:11 UTC

Lauren Boebert will most likely win the 2020 election in Colorado district 3. The incumbent was also from the Republican party, which she won the nomination for in the local primary. This district also elected Donald Trump as President, a Republican candidate. The polls show she has the support of 44% to 42% of eligible voters in district 3. This would put her behind Democrat Diane Bush, but in both polls the margin of error can put either candidate in the lead. District 3 is a rural area made up mostly of ranches and the district is 88.2% white according to the last census. This gives the Republican candidate an advantage, but this election will be close either way.
