Controversy-riddled Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert remains likely to keep her spot in the House of Representatives despite scandal after scandal and what one pollster calls a 'terrible' brand.

Boebert, who has held office in Colorado's 3rd District since 2021, announced in December that she would run in 2024 for a different Colorado Congressional seat. 

She'll try to replace retiring Republican Rep. Ken Buck in Colorado's 4th Congressional District instead, the state's most conservative district, after nearly losing her seat to a Democrat in 2022. 

Some wonder if she can hang on to power after facing everything from an infamous ejection from a theater performance of Beetlejuice to a nasty divorce to her son's legal troubles have kept her in the news for all the wrong reasons. 

However, an independent pollster believes this may not matter because she represents her new district's interests and remains endorsed by close ally and former President Donald Trump.

'Her personal brand, it is terrible,' said Colorado pollster Floyd Cirulli told ABC News. 

'Between not only the particular problem in the 4th [Congressional District], that is she's a carpetbagger, but what she brings over with her is just terrible. Under no normal conditions would she be elected,' he continued. 

However, in a race littered with candidates, she likely has a plurality if not necessarily a majority to win. 

'Even though her personal brand is as low as you can go and Theanex Erfahrungsbericht damaged, she still would probably find a third of the vote,' Cirulli said. 

'And in a multi-candidate field, we assume a third of the vote is going to give her the primary.'  

Former President Donald Trump endorsed Boebert two weeks ago amid her son's legal woes and the congresswoman's messy divorce saga. 

Trump called the 37-year-old grandmother a 'Proven Conservative' and a 'trusted America First Fighter,' giving the Colorado Republican his 'Complete and Total Endorsement.'

'Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is a Proven Conservative and Effective Leader who delivers for Colorado, and our America First agenda,' Trump wrote on Truth Social.

In a Truth Social post, Trump referred to Boebert as a 'Proven Conservative' and a 'trusted America First Fighter' 

'Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is a trusted America First Fighter, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Colorado's 4th Congressional District!' 

Cirulli believes this keeps her in good with the MAGA movement and makes her likely to win. 

'She's got the money, she's got universal name identification, she has several other people running, so there'll be a multi-candidate ballot. And she had initially [House Speaker Mike] Johnson's support, and now she has Trump's. And that's a Trump district,' he added.

While Colorado have already made their pick for the presidential nominees, Congressional primaries in the state aren't held until June 25, giving Boebert some time to gain ground. 

She applauded Trump's endorsement in posts on X. 

'It's my honor to have the endorsement of the greatest President our country has ever known - Donald J. Trump,' the Colorado Republican said. 'It will be such a privilege to work alongside him in 2024 to deliver results for Colorado & get the entire country back on track!'  

In another post she held up a draft of Trump's Truth Social post, labeling it, 'MY president.' 

It's the latest twist in the story of the politician whose greatest hits including allegations that she punched her ex-husband, allegations of pointing a gun at an Obama-supporting employee and trying to prove that a WWE star was her birth father.

Arguably the most infamous incident involving Boebert saw her removed from a theater in Denver after she became amorous with her date.

Boebert was filmed lashing out at theater staff after being booted from a Beetlejuice performance for singing along - with staff claiming she also vaped and took photos during the performance.

Surveillance footage shows Boebert, wearing a tight, low-cut gold dress and high heels, making a considerable fuss as she and a hunky mystery man are ordered out.

She can be seen snapping a selfie as she leaves the auditorium and angrily bares her teeth at staff as she is escorted through the lobby.

According to The Denver Post, the lawmaker at one point declared 'Do you know who I am?' Afterwards, Boebert and her smartly-dressed date were caught on camera walking off through the empty nighttime streets of the Mile High City.   

Just weeks later, Boebert was accused of using campaign funds to watching a cycle race that her partner from that night, Aspen bar owner Quinn Gallagher was competing in.  

Earlier this month, Boebert's 18-year-old son Tyler was released from jail Wednesday facing 22 charges, including five felonies, related to property thefts in the Rifle, Colorado area, with one victim saying she now can't affort to pay for brain surgery. 

Her son's legal problems come in the months following the congresswoman finalizing her divorce from husband Jayson, who Tyler called the cops on in January after his father allegedly shoved and grabbed him.

Days later, Boebert denied punching her ex-husband at a Colorado restaurant after he made 'lewd advances' toward her. 

None of her family scandals deterred Trump from labeling her an 'Effective Leader.' 

In 2022, Boebert nearly lost her Republican-leaning district to Democrat Adam Frisch, beating him by only 546 votes. 

Last February, Frisch said he planned to challenge Boebert again for her seat representing Colorado's 3rd Congressional District. 

That move prompted Boebert to announce in December that she would run in 2024 for a different Colorado Congressional seat. 

She'll try to replace retiring Republican Rep. Ken Buck in Colorado's 4th Congressional District instead, the state's most conservative district. 

Ten Republicans are currently vying for that seat, with the Denver Post reporting in early February that Boebert started the year with a fundraising advantage. 

Still, Boebert came in fifth place in a straw poll of voters in her new district.
