https://utahpolicy.com/index.php/features/today-at-utah-policy/23932-poll-donald-trump-leads-biden-by-just-3-points-in-utahThe last time Utah voted for a Democrat for president was Lyndon Baines Johnson in 1964. The Beehive States 56-year streak of voting for Republicans for president may be in real danger according to a new poll.
The UtahPolicy.com/KUTV 2 News survey conducted by Y2 Analytics finds Republican Donald Trump leading presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden by just 3 points, 44-41 percent. 8 percent of likely voters say they would support a third-party candidate. 5 percent were undecided while 1 percent picked another candidate.
The close race is likely a factor of Trumps unpopularity instead of rising support for Biden. Trumps lead shrunk 2 points from our April survey showing him leading Biden 46-41 percent.
Trumps poor showing in Utah is in line with 2016 when he carried the state with just 45.5 percent. Clearly, Trump has not expanded his base of support since that time.
The gender gap in our poll is huge as male voters in Utah are much more supportive of the president than women voters. Trump leads Biden among men 51-35 percent, but trails Biden among women voters 47-37 percent. If you add the 16 point lead for Trump among men, and Bidens 10 point lead among women, you get a 24 point gender gap.
..............................
They have to be worried about that and maybe Biden needs to pay them a visit, just to see. Longshot but it just feels like one of those years.

(16,616 posts)1. This sentence stands out:
8 percent of likely voters say they would support a third-party candidate
That seems a pretty high percentage, generally. Maybe Utahns are more inclined to vote for third party candidate?

they don't like Dems either. Either way, if they don't vote Trump it helps Joe.
