So according to the early general election polls, Hillary is doing better in Texas and Utah than Minnesota and Michigan.
UT ?
The last polls I saw had the Republicans up by a lot there.
The last polls that I saw of Utah had all Republicans except Trump doing well in Utah. I simply see Donald Trump as the worst possible fit that any Republican can be in Utah due to his involvement in businesses that offend Mormon values and his multiple divorces. Utah has been about as solidly and consistently Republican as any state since Dwight Eisenhower won over LDS hierarch Ezra Taft Benson before the 1952 election.
I can see tepid support by Mormons in Utah for Donald Trump putting Utah (and Arizona, which is much closer than Utah in most elections and has a large Mormon vote) in play. Just think of West Virginia in 1972, then typically a very solid Democratic state, being one of the strongest states for Richard Nixon: voters rejected George McGovern for his real or imagined affiliations with a left-wing culture that has no roots in West Virginia.
