trump's approval is now underwater in Utah

And he only has a three-point lead over Biden in the state in the latest poll.

What's more, approval among "very active" members of the LDS church in the state has fallen to 58%, with 41% approving.

It's pretty easy to get a third-party candidate on the ballot in Utah--pay $500 and gather 1000 signatures. Maybe we should get Mitt Romney on the ballot as a third-party candidate there

1. They'll still vote for him

2. almost certainly--but it's still good news, particularly the sliding approval among active mormons

That's another positive sign for Arizona, which is very clearly in play (and which I think Biden will win), and which has a large LDS population.

3. Interesting.

Didn't know about a large LDS population in AZ.

4. Yes, and Nevada as well ... about 5% of the population, but a much larger share of the GOP bloc

They were about 11% of the Arizona republican primary in 2016, and more than a quarter of the GOP caucuses in Nevada in 2012 (not sure about 2016). So losing their support is a bad sign for a republican candidate. Especially given all the other trends in Arizona in the last few years.

Concerned, but not really...
