The presidential race in Utah has reached the point where having a 20% option isn't ludicrous. With both Johnson and McMillian doing well there, while I doubt it will happen, the winner there may end up with less than 30% of the vote, and you can't include that in a prediction, tho you can do that in a map.

That seems really impractical. Even third parties and write-ins made up 40% of the vote, it would still be impossible for either Trump or Clinton to get less than 30%.

If Johnson and McMullin both strengthen as a result of Trump's implosion, the following is not inconceivable:

Trump 29%
Clinton 28%
Johnson 22%
McMullin 17%
Stein 3%
Others 1%

Before this latest problem, Clinton was already polling below 30% in Utah, Trump had been polling the mid- to upper-30's and both Johnson and McMullin had been polling above 10%.

Utah's developing into a four-way race, which is of course, the only way the winner could end up with less than 30% of the vote.
