Poll: Trump leads Clinton by 6 points in Utah as McMullin gains support

Donald Trump continues to hold onto a lead among likely voters in the traditionally deep-red state of Utah, according to a new Monmouth University poll, but he is ahead of Hillary Clinton by only 6 points as almost a quarter of voters flock to independent candidate Evan McMullin.
Among 402 likely voters in the state surveyed from Oct. 30 through Nov. 2, 37 percent said they support Trump, while 31 percent said they support Clinton.

Twenty-four percent back McMullin, a conservative who is running a campaign focused on Utah, where he was born. The state's large Mormon population has proved resistant to Trump’s candidacy, particularly after a damaging 2005 tape surfaced last month showing the billionaire bragging about sexual assault. McMullin gained support in the state after Monmouth’s last survey, in October, when he registered at 20 percent.

Four percent of voters surveyed said they support Libertarian Gary Johnson, and 1 percent indicated support for the Green Party’s Jill Stein.
The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percent.

Note: I am typing the word "poll" into google (set on the NEWS category) and posting new polls that have not yet been posted to Late Breaking News.

Nothing is being "cherry picked", so if any poll results are unsettling please don't shoot the messenger. Yesterday I was the victim of a semi-witchhunt for doing this.

Why do this? First, because it IS late breaking news. Second, to fight any complacency if polls actually ARE tightening. Third, as a protest against those that would try to censor or intimidate people into not posting topics that they just don't like. This IS Democratic Underground, posting from reputable sources should not be censored. Thank you.
===============================================

Monmouth University Polling is rated A+ by 538 and has a bias of D+0.6

That all said, Hillary is within 6 points in Utah in this poll that has a margin of error of 4.9 points. That's in UTAH!

Btw... there's another good poll for Hillary just posted, she's up 30% in Florida with Hispanic voters.

Darn, that runs counter to your narrative.... sorry.

3. A perfect world

I am thinking at this point in the race...

*Hillary should have her Utah supporters vote for McMullin

*Johnson and Weld should throw their support to Hillary

5. I was a UAW child, an adult now though :)

You that good at remembering what to type or are you just copy/paste from a notepad on your desktop?

6. Posts considered harmful to Clinton's election prospects are banned at DU

I think it's bullshit, but censorship IS official site policy. And it's part of the culture here now, with many more than willing to report any post they see as potentially anti-Clinton. I'm curious to see if it continues after the election.

7. The admins have the final say

If the admins said not to post these polls I would comply at once.

Anyone that feels they are in anyway harmful can alert on them, of course.

11. Yes.

Sorry for any confusion. I was just pointing out that there is DU grassroots support for the censorship.

12. UTAH?

For God's sake Utah? When was the last time a democratic presidential candidate won Utah???

13. The hope was that the Mormon third party candidate would split the Repub vote. n/t
