Donald Trump comes out ahead of Hillary Clinton by six points in the latest Utah poll from Monmouth University, with a slight gain for Independent candidate Evan McMullin.
Trump leads among likely Utah voters, 37-31, with McMullin following at 24 percent, Libertarian Gary Johnson at 4 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 1 percent.
Monmouth’s previous poll of Utah, taken in October, also put the businessman six points ahead of Clinton, 34-28.
McMullin, the independent conservative candidate, made a four-point gain between Monmouth polls, moving from 20 percent in October to 24 percent today.
The Monmouth University poll was conducted via live telephone interview from Oct. 30-Nov. 2 among 402 likely Utah voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percent.
TPM’s PollTracker Average for the presidential election in Utah shows Trump leading Clinton, 36.5 to 31.4.
Utah thinking on this one is pretty simple:
Trump: Horrible guy. Period.
Hillary: She will make everyone have late term abortions every nine months.
McMullin: He’s a Mormon, and he’s fulfilling the White Horse Prophecy.
Trumps thinking even simpler:
Trump: Best words. Best guy. Terrific
Hillary: She will make everyone have late term abortions every nine months.
McMullin: He’s a Mormon. Did you know he’s gay?
Listened to this political lightweight on NPR one night about two weeks ago (never heard of him). He thinks he can poll nationally because he’s ‘outperforming’ as a conservative and Mormon running for office from Utah.
Utah is 60% Mormon, let’s see if Mormons want Donald Trump to be their moral leader.
Further depressing proof that “never Trump” is basically just a few conservative pundits - the overwhelming majority of Republican voters will happily vote for this atrocity of a candidate. Trump may vanish, but Bannon and company will ensure that the GOP remains a nakedly white racist party.
