Salt Lake Tribune/Dan Jones Utah Poll - Trump +2 over McMullin

[eric82oslo]

Also interesting, 68% say Trump's videos do not effect their vote, 8% say it makes them more likely to vote for Clinton, 2% for Johnson, 0% for Trump and 18% for McMullin.

0% says it makes them more likely to vote for Trump having seen the Access Hollywood tape. That tells you want kind of moral state Utah is. They really don't like gloating and boasting serial rapists there. Two thumbs up for Utahns.

Conducted October 20-27.

This poll is already very old, on average it's a week old. That means that I'm pretty sure that McMullin should be ahead at this point, had they asked the voters of the state today or yesterday. McMullin has gotten a lot of media attention from outlets in Utah during the last week or so.

Clinton should strategically cede Utah and urge her supporters to vote for McMullin at this point as a way to guarantee Trump's defeat in the EC, assuming the race is generally within these parameters (it increasingly appears so).

Why would democrats vote for a man who is positioned far to the right of Trump?

What could be far to the right for extreme fascism? Nothing I think, except for outright nazism.
