http://utahpolicy.com/index.php/features/today-at-utah-policy/14293-poll-romney-wins-matchup-and-likely-will-run-if-hatch-doesn-t

45% Salt Lake County Councilwoman Jenny Wilson
34% Sen. Orrin Hatch

FYI, 538 gives Dan Jones a C+.

All I'll say is that this is consistent with what other recent polls have implied: that Orrin Hatch is unpopular. I'll let you take this poll as you will.

Orrin Hatch doesn't have a core constituency. He's chronically unpopular, and has managed to become a toxic Republican in the reddest state in the country. If he runs for a 396 gazillionth term, he deserves to lose.

Hatch sucks. Republicans should be worried here if he runs for re-election in an anti-Trump midterm.

Romney would be able to just sleep his way to victory.

No matter who wins the GOP nomination, it's Safe R...even if Democrats do persuade Matheson to run.

I would love to see Mitt Romney or Gary Herbert run here, though.

Useless poll, they didn't include party affiliations in their polling questions.

Issues with not identifying party (Jenny Wilson is a literallywho-tier name) but otherwise yeah, matches consensus. Hatch is in trouble if he runs again, he shouldn't, and Romney has all incentive to go for a Humphrey-style Senate seat after Sen. Hatch retires.

Lol at the people taking this seriously.

And I assume Sanders would have beaten Trump in Utah as well?

So you know everything there is to know about Utah?

And by the way the NM thing is a joke.

Jenny Wilson, as a Councilwoman at large for the entire County of Salt Lake, really isn't a nobody. She represents 1/3 of Utah as is.

Not that this has any significance, but this is the Utah senate seat that has not elected back-to-back senators from the same party since 1940. That has only happened twice in the seat's history.

lol Utah is one of those states that would elect Satan (R) over Jesus (D) in double digits. Clearly you know more about your state than I, but I just don't see the Mormons there electing a Democrat statewide. Dems shouldn't waste money here; it could be the Kansas of 2014 if they do.

I suppose if state Democrats nominate a Mormon Democrat who can distance him/herself from the national party brand, they could be competitive statewide. It would still depend on the GOP nominee though.

To be honest.. if the match up ends up with Orrin Hatch as the Republican nominee Democrats may be smart to spend money on this race.

No other year may align so perfect for Democrats to win a Senate Seat from Utah. Sure Jenny Wilson may end up as Utah's Mark Begich but a win for one term is a win.

And to be honest if someone like Claire McCaskill or Sherrod Brown begin to really falter in polls I would advise national Democrats to put that money in the Utah Senate Race if Jenny Wilson is still polling well against Hatch. Considering the dense media market it would be money well spent.

There are basically three potential big victories for Utah Democrats in the coming years if all goes well.

1) Most likely would be picking up a congressional seat in 2022. If independent redistricting passes the ballot next year it is almost certain a Lean Democratic seat will be created in Utah. In such a small state a single congressional race is a huge prize.

2) Second most plausible is an open gubernatoral contest in 2020. Utah does not have term limits for Governor but Gary Herbert is unlikely to run for re-election. Trump is unlikely to replicate Republican margins from 2004, 2008 and 2012 the open seat could be a feasible prize.

3) The Senate Contest next year is only possible if Hatch is the Republican nominee and Romney does NOT run.

Jim Matheson must be kicking himself hard for becoming a lobbyist!

I don't have much faith in Dan Jones, but still. Hatch is running 49 points behind Romney. That's less than Romney's victory margin against Obama.

Junk poll because of no party labels, but it does prove that there is discontent with Hatch which we already knew.
